Wrap Cardigan Knitting Pattern

I’ve knit a lot of different kinds of sweaters in my years as a knitter (and am actually crocheting my first sweater right now!) but I have never made a wrap cardigan before.

This style of sweater is typically made with triangular fronts that overlap each other. The fronts can be tied together at the bottom of one side, or you could probably use a button on the bottom layer and put a buttonhole in the top layer to close it. It gives a sort of V-neck look that’s easy and cozy to wear.

The style is often associated with ballerinas, but of course it’s something anyone can wear.

The Clairlea Cardigan by Laura Chau is worked from the top down in one piece using a twisted stitch pattern on the body. It has drop sleeves that are worked in the round after the body is knit, and an I-cord edging that becomes the ties at the waist.

It’s worked in worsted weight yarn and available in 10 sizes, ranging from a chest measurement of 32.75 to 67.75 inches. The pattern includes charts as well as row by row written directions, so you can make it either way (or use the pattern to practice your chart reading.

The pattern is available on Ravelry.

As a knitter, I am always on the lookout for new and interesting patterns to add to my collection. Recently, I came across Sirdar’s TEDDY BEAR CARDIGANS IN SNUGGLY SNOWFLAKE CHUNKY, design number 5404. This pattern caught my attention because of its adorable teddy bear motif pockets, and the fact that it comes in two different styles – a V-neck and shawl collar version.

The fluffy Snuggly Snowflake Chunky yarn that is used in this pattern adds an extra touch of warmth and coziness.

I have to admit, I haven’t had the chance to knit this pattern yet, but it’s definitely on my list of patterns to complete this year. The fact that it is classified as an easy level makes it accessible for knitters of all skill levels and I’m excited to give it a try. The pattern includes detailed instructions and charts, making it easy for knitters to follow along and create a beautiful and functional piece.

I love the idea of the teddy bear pockets and I can imagine how adorable it would look on a baby. The fact that the pattern comes in two different styles gives me the flexibility to choose the one that best suits my needs or preferences.

I am excited to add this pattern to my list of projects to complete this year. I believe that this pattern is a great choice for knitters looking for a cute and cozy project that is easy to make. I can’t wait to start knitting and see the final product.
