July Cardigan
Knitted in simple stitches to gently fit into your daily life, this year-round cardigan was designed to bring quiet joy—whether worn or simply draped over a sofa or chair.
It is a piece you will naturally reach for—slipping it on when you wake up, draping it over your shoulders during seasonal shifts, or using it as a light layer against summer air conditioning. Choosing a yarn that feels wonderful against the skin and slowly working simple stitches with beautiful yarn is part of the delight of this design.
A top-down, seamlessly knitted ‘Haori’ style cardigan. Back neckline is worked first, and back yoke is then shaped by increasing stitches along both shoulders of the back piece, then armholes are formed with further increases. Front stitches are picked up from each shoulder and edges of the neckline and worked together as front bands and body. Neckline and armholes are shaped with increases and worked down to the underarm. Front and back are joined at the underarm and worked continuously to hem. Sleeves are picked up from body directly and worked in the round. After sleeve cap is shaped using short rows, sleeves are continued knitting down to the cuffs.
