Knitting For Olive | Olive Cardigan Adult Pattern & Yarn Pack
Delicate Lace, Effortless Comfort
The Olive Cardigan is the elegant sister to the beloved Olive Turtleneck, featuring the same beautiful lace patterning with a cardigan twist. Worked seamlessly from the top down, this design combines modern construction with timeless detail.
Knit with 1 strand of fingering-weight yarn held together with 2 strands of Silk Mohair, the cardigan has the signature cloud-like softness of the Olive collection—light, airy, and irresistibly cosy. The raglan yoke begins at the ribbed neckband, flowing gracefully into the lace body. Sleeves are held aside while the body is completed, before being finished with matching ribbed edges for a polished look.
With its combination of lace, texture, and gentle warmth, the Olive Cardigan is perfect for layering year-round.
Our Olive Cardigan Adult Pattern & Yarn Pack is suitable for the XS pattern size and includes 4 x Merino, 8 x Soft Silk Mohair, and a digital pattern. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
