Vildcardigan is a beautiful, structured cardigan with pretty details, and where the lace pattern is done beautifully from the raglan stitches. The elegant pattern is knitted from charts. The inspiration to the lace pattern is from the book Japanese ‘Knitting Stitch Bible’ by Hitomi Shida but has been rethought and made totally unique.

Vildcardigan is worked top down and is totally free from assembling. It is possible for you to adjust the length of the sleeves and the length of the body easily, and if you wish, decrease or increase a few cm in the waist, so that the cardigan will compliment your body perfectly.

The English version of the pattern is translated by Camilla Kjøller Simonsen, @minkreativehjerne.
