About

Knits ‘N Dots is a fresh and flirty cardigan pattern from my Spring 2022 Bloom Collection, worked up in my own floral-inspired hand-dyed yarn that can be found here.

This circular yoke cardigan is knit seamlessly from the top-down. This cropped, fitted silhouette pairs especially well with high-waisted bottoms, or layered over a summery dress. You’ll love knitting the subtle bobbles sprinkled through two rows, adding a fun pop of texture to the yoke of your sweater. The matching ribbing around the neckline, collar, bottom hem, and sleeve cuffs brings a touch of sophistication to this otherwise simple piece. Designed with a classic fit, this versatile cropped cardigan looks great on folks of all shapes and sizes and can be easily paired with your existing wardrobe.

My buttons are from the thrift store – a great place to find unique buttons for your one-of-a-kind, hand-knit cardigan.
