Retro-Inspired Cardigan – Soft, Airy & Customizable
This soft and airy cardigan is inspired by timeless retro silhouettes and is knitted with two strands of Sandnes Tynn Silk Mohair for a luxurious, feather-light feel. The design features a straight fit with elegant raglan shaping, and it’s worked bottom-up in one piece, back and forth.

You can choose between two sleeve styles, giving you the freedom to customize the look to your taste. The sleeves are worked separately and joined before the raglan decreases begin. Thoughtful details like folded button bands and a neatly finished neckband add to the polished, high-quality look of the garment.

Perfect for knitters with some experience, but thanks to clear instructions and a little patience, it’s also a rewarding project for adventurous beginners.
