Brooklyn Tweed Tamarack (Shaped)

An open-front cardigan in Quarry with a dramatic ribbed collar adds a note of cozy chic to your wardrobe. Three-quarter length sleeves balance the volume of the ribbed lapels, which are shaped with short rows worked at the ends of the collar rather than around the neck. Exaggerated drop shoulders create a flattering curve and seam detail at the upper arm. Opt for tubular edges for a professional finish or substitute your favorite standard method for a sweater you can knit up in a flash. The pieces are knit flat and the collar is worked on stitches picked up after seaming.

“This cozy cardigan is equally suited for curling up at home in your PJ’s, or for a stylish, layered look while on the go. The body is adorned with classic knit-and-purl patterns—moss stitch punctuated with chevron insertions—while the button bands and shawl collar are worked in a supple English Rib pattern (also known as “half brioche” stitch). The garment is partially seamless, from hem/cuff to underarm. The raglan yoke for each piece is then worked flat and seamed upon completion.

Allover Shaker rib gives this sweater its bookish appeal. A boxy shape that’s smart too, this cardigan features subtle fit enhancements from compound raglan curves, hidden short rows at center back neck, and gentle waist darts that keep the boxy fit flattering, not overwhelming. The textural design lines of shaker rib spotlight unique shaping details throughout the garment: a deep V-neckline and unique ornamental sleeve shaping that is mirrored on right and left sides.

A cocoon cardigan in openwork fabric offers casual style you can dress up or down. Quarry’s leavened, unspun structure renders netting stitch fabric as a doughy lattice, warm but well ventilated. Wide stockinette edges are allowed to curl for an unstudied effect that invites layering over office wear or lounging with a favorite film and a bowl of popcorn. Bracelet-length dolman sleeves and a boxy shape create a comfortable, broad silhouette; use the hip measurement to select a size that will allow easy movement.

"This cozy sweater beautifully blends the comfort of a classic oversized cardigan with thoughtful design details to create a flattering and easy-to-wear garment. The deep raglan yoke enhances both comfort and ease of movement, while the trim length of the lower body maintains a clean silhouette. A curved hem, crafted with short rows, allows the cardigan to sit slightly lower at the back for a tailored fit. The wide, blousy sleeves offer freedom of movement, tapering dramatically at the wrists for a sleek, flattering finish. Tailoring darts at the waist and back neck further refine the fit.

A boxy, open-gauge cardigan in Quarry: the ultimate in slouchy comfort that doesn’t sacrifice good looks. Riverbend’s hem is shaped with short rows so that the back is several inches longer than the cropped fronts. The deep V of the neckline makes it easy to layer. All pieces are knit flat, and we chose to assemble them with the purl side facing out, but instructions are also given for exposing the traditional knit side if you prefer. Two options are given for resolving the short rows so that they’ll be least visible on the public side of your garment, whichever side you’d like that to be.

Welcome the chilly weather in a stunning cabled cardigan that will anchor your wardrobe in the colder months. Charley’s thickets of knotwork and lattice cables are ventilated with eyelets that visually lighten the garment. The vertical flow of the cable and moss stitch panels is accentuated by purl gutters that create flattering lines. A roomy fit makes Charley a cozy outer layer and lets the dense fabric of Arbor hang beautifully; waist shaping neatly controls the volume of the piece.

Commit to coziness in a voluminous batwing cardigan knit from Quarry. Multidirectional construction makes for an engaging knit and a visually intriguing garment; the staggered columns of welts and eyelets form an allover scale pattern that shifts direction as you work the sleeve panels upward from the cuffs, then pick up stitches to knit the back and fronts downward after shaping the shoulders with short rows. A wide band of double ribbing lets the fronts hang gracefully open.

Graphic stripes and large square patch pockets elevate a basic open-front cardigan with vintage appeal. Falling to mid-thigh length, Rivet is still light and lofty in Shelter. Slim set-in sleeves keep the shoulders tailored to balance the long, straight torso. The single-piece body and sleeves are worked flat and seamed, and the garter stitch collar and front bands are knit from stitches picked up after assembly. This cardigan is an opportunity to play with color; departing from the high-contrast neutral scheme of the sample could lend very different effects.

" The Shapeshift Cardigan takes a traditional top-down raglan structure and turns it on its head to create something both familiar and unexpected. By shifting half of the raglan increases to the top of the shoulder, graphic diagonal lines are formed along the sleeve. This bold architectural shaping produces an eye-catching twist on the classic cardigan. Squishy brioche stitch gets its volume turned up when worked in chunky-weight Arbor Lodge or Quarry . The strong geometric lines of this favorite stitch pattern highlight the garment’s unique shaping.

Wrap up in contemporary fall style: a swingy open-front coat knit from cozy Quarry. The original crosshatch stitch pattern, worked from a chart and easily memorized, forms a fabric with bands of deep texture. The body is worked flat in one piece with decreases shaping a gentle A-line; long sleeves (designed to be cuffed back) are knit in the round and then joined to work a circular yoke. The front bands and collar are picked up and knit in single rib, with short rows shaping the collar. A single toggle allows you to close the fronts if desired.

For knitters who love a geometric puzzle, this study in modular asymmetry will keep the brain and the needles busy. Constructed in squares and triangles worked from the edges inward, Counterpane uses bands of stockinette, garter, and brioche to create three-dimensional texture as well as arresting diagonal lines. Each section is worked on stitches picked up from the previous square and newly cast on. The sleeve cuffs achieve a subtle bloused form by echoing the brioche and garter bands of the blocks.

"This quick-knitting cardigan makes the most of round, multi-ply yarns with smooth definition. The chunky gauge of the fabric turns up the volume on the many knitterly details stashed throughout the project. A simple allover garter rib pattern forms the basis for strong architectural shaping details, all of which are worked with decorative double-decreases that keep the rib pattern unbroken throughout and highlight unique design lines. The compound raglan yoke creates a comfortable fit through the shoulders and the easy-to-work stand-up collar creates a cozy finish.

Shelter marls make the simplest fabrics eye-catching, and exposing the pebbled texture of the purl side only heightens the effect. The Mossbank pullover adds ribbed edges in a coordinating solid color as a grounding accent. Tailored shaping with set-in sleeves, a generous neckline, and just enough ease for layering make this sweater the kind of simple basic that quickly becomes indispensible as a wardrobe anchor.

“This pi shawl gracefully blends Elizabeth Zimmermann’s traditional construction with fresh textures. While many pi shawls employ only lace patterns, this one focuses on rich texture and motion, drawing the eye from the center outward and then around the circumference of the circle as the chevrons point the way. The stitch patterns used are very simple and can easily be memorized, but the resulting fabric is mesmerizing.” – Andrea Rangel Designer: Andrea Rangel Collection: Wool People, Volume…

A ribbon of zigzag lace with a yarnover selvedge forms the foundation for this pretty triangular shawl. Stitches picked up from the yarnovers take a few steadying ridges of garter stitch while decreases are established at the edges and spine, then begin to intermingle in a traditional two-sided lace pattern before relaxing into an ever-diminishing field of garter. This perfect balance of focused effort and straightforward plain knitting has made Rock Island an enduring favorite in the Brooklyn Tweed archives. Designer: Jared Flood Collection: Classics ; Vale…

The Tilda Cardigan takes a great basic shape and embellishes it with whimsical details. The column of eyelets along each side seam begins at the hem and flows directly into the raglan lines on both fronts and back. The stockinette button band is flanked on either side by a pair of simple cables, while the garment’s body and three-quarter sleeves are trimmed with an optional contrasting color rolled edge. The generous scoop neck begs to be styled with shirts featuring interesting collars (or cowls).

Inspired by the slanting angles of warm summer sunlight, Wyden is awash in three-dimensional texture.

Written and charted for budding and experienced knitters alike, this voluminous triangular shawl is warm and cozy in Arbor’s squishy Targhee wool. Throw Wyden over sun-kissed shoulders at the end of a long day and drink in a striking sunset. Designer: Victoria Burgess Collection: BT Summer Share on social…

“I love chevrons! I cannot get enough. I particularly love how they distort a seemingly straightforward row of knitting into spectacular peaks and valleys. Pair a chevron with the humble stripe and boom! My knitter’s heart beats a little faster. Taking into account that chevrons don’t make a rectangular shape on their own, I have helped them out by filling in the corners. This creates a few extra pieces to knit to make a shape that resembles a sweater, but the end result is a garment that is interesting to knit. Interesting to knit while being all knit!
