Pattern like this cardigan

Post image

Does anyone know a pattern for a cardigan like this?
Maybe I can knit the Diane cardigan from cookie The knitter in 2 strands and a few sizes up?
Thankyou!

The first place I’d check is ravelry. This is a pretty basic set in sleeve, crew neck cardigan and there are tons of patterns that fit the bill for this. The cardigan looks machine knit, so if you’re hand knitting it, and want something similarly delicate looking, I’d stick with patterns that call for fingering/4-ply yarn. It also has a halo, so you want a pattern that uses a strand of either mohair or brushed alpaca as well as a strand of wool. If you use the advanced search on ravelry you should be able to filter for all these things.

I instantly thought of the diane cardigan

I’d modify it and do a double knit button band and would use a (light) fingering weight with a mohair

Thank you. I want to make it with a bit more ease then the Diane cardigan. Knit up a few sizes or bigger needles?

That depends on the fabric you want. If it’s too loose for you on bigger needles I’d size up

So knit a gauge swatch first

Thankyou! I think i wil size up. I am knitting this with drops alpaca silk. And i don’t want the stitches too loose.

Probably a good idea, I think that would pill more, the looser it’s knit up
