Knitting For Olive | Johanne Cardigan Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Johanne Cardigan is a beautifully understated classic designed to become a true wardrobe staple. Simple, versatile, and easy to wear, it’s perfect for everyday layering across seasons. Knit with 1 strand of Merino and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together, the fabric is soft, warm, and gently lightweight with a subtle halo.
Worked seamlessly from the top down, the Johanne Cardigan is knit back and forth in stockinette stitch and features refined saddle shoulder shaping for a clean, flattering fit. The sleeves are finished with extra-long ribbed cuffs, creating a soft balloon-like silhouette that adds just the right amount of interest to this otherwise minimal design.
Designed with comfort and wearability in mind, the Johanne Cardigan is an effortless knit that pairs just as well with jeans as it does layered over dresses.
Our Johanne Cardigan Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 4 x Merino, 4 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.
