Knitting For Olive | Olive Cardigan V-Neck Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Olive Cardigan V-Neck brings timeless grace and modern ease together in one elegant knit. Part of the beloved Olive pattern family, this design features an allover lace motif paired with soft ribbed detailing, creating a cardigan that’s both light as a whisper and full of delicate texture.
Worked seamlessly from the top down with 1 strand of Merino and 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together, the Olive Cardigan feels luxuriously soft, airy, and warm. The deep V-neckline frames the lace beautifully, while the double-knitted button band adds a touch of structure and polish.
The construction is thoughtfully designed for knitters who enjoy a smooth, intuitive flow — starting with the two fronts and back, then joining for the body, with sleeves picked up and shaped using short rows for a perfect fit. Finished with wide ribbed edges, this cardigan drapes elegantly and feels like a gentle cloud on your shoulders.
Our Olive Cardigan V-Neck Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 4 x Merino yarn, 9 x Soft Silk Mohair yarn, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for the XS pattern size. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size.
