The Riley Cardigan is a classic Fall Cardigan made with a traditional top-down construction and a sophisticated fit. Designed for everyday wear, the Riley Cardigan is crocheted with an effortless stitch pattern to create an opaque, textured fabric that offers warmth and style without compromise. The irresistible plush fabric lends a beautiful drape for a store-bought look that can be hard to find in crocheted garments. This pattern will produce a wonderfully warm cardigan for you to enjoy throughout the colder seasons.

Construction & Details:
The Riley Cardigan is worked in a traditional raglan style, crafted seamlessly in one piece with no extra seaming required for the body or sleeves. Only minimal assembly is needed for the optional after-thought pockets. Its standout features include a uniquely shaped collar that gently rounds at the neckline for a softer curve, along with generously sized pockets featuring a rounded bottom for a distinctive look and extra carrying capacity. The oversized pockets are perfect for holding your everyday essentials, and the bonus waist tie transforms this cozy cardigan from a wardrobe staple into the perfect lounge-worthy robe.
