Knitting For Olive | Clotilde Cardigan Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Clotilde Cardigan is the cozy companion to the much-loved Clotilde Sweater—a bold, soft, and satisfyingly chunky cardigan designed to make an impression. Featuring a striking diamond lace pattern, this piece combines visual impact with an irresistibly plush feel.
Worked seamlessly from the top down on large needles and holding four strands together, Clotilde is a wonderfully fast and rewarding knit. The relaxed, boxy silhouette is shaped with subtle short rows at the back and classic raglan construction, while simple ribbed edges keep the overall look balanced and wearable.
Designed to be worn open for an effortless, casual feel, the Clotilde Cardigan can also be customised with buttons if you prefer a closable option. The pattern includes instructions for creating buttonholes at the neckband and hem, with flexibility to add more along the fronts by using the natural gaps between stitches.
Our Clotilde Cardigan Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 9 x Heavy Merino, 5 x Soft Silk Mohair, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for an XS size cardigan. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size. Please refer to the chart below.
