The Noelle Cardigan is a classic tartan cardigan inspired by the timeless yet iconic mens jackets from the 1950s and 1960s.
It is worked top down, with contasting sleeves that are picked up around the armholes.
The tartan is worked by knitting in the horizontal stripes and embroidering or crocheting in the vertical stripes.
An instant wardrobe staple that can be worked into endless different looks depending on your colour choices!

NOTE ON AVAILABLE SIZES - if you want to knit this, or any of my patterns, in a larger size than I currently have published, please get in touch! The only reason it is not available in larger sizes is I couldn’t get testknitters for those sizes, and I don’t want anyone to pay for a pattern and knit a size thats not been tested. So if you would like to (test)knit this - or any of my patterns! - in a larger size than is currently available, drop me a message and I’ll send you the pattern for free!
