Wentworth Cardigan by Kaffe Fassett in Rowan Kidsilk Haze – Pattern Summary
The Wentworth Cardigan is a stunning multicolour striped cardigan designed by the celebrated Kaffe Fassett and published by Rowan. Available as a downloadable PDF, this pattern is rated intermediate in difficulty and showcases Kaffe Fassett's signature approach to colour: layering many carefully sequenced shades to create a richly textured, painterly stripe sequence. The result is a wearable work of art that rewards knitters who enjoy working with a wide palette and following a detailed colour rotation.
Sizes and Fit
The pattern is written in five sizes, covering a chest circumference range of approximately 81–86 cm up to 122–127 cm (sizes S, M, L, XL, and XXL). This generous size range makes the Wentworth Cardigan accessible to a broad range of knitters and wearers.
Yarn: Rowan Kidsilk Haze
The entire cardigan is knitted in Rowan Kidsilk Haze, a luxurious lace-weight yarn renowned for its delicate halo and beautiful drape. Kidsilk Haze is a blend of kid mohair and silk, which gives it an ethereal, lightweight quality while still providing warmth. It is sold in 25 g balls, and the Wentworth Cardigan uses an exceptionally rich palette of sixteen named colourways, each playing a specific role in the stripe sequence:
- A – Blushes 583 (1–2 balls depending on size)
- B – Candy Girl 606 (1 ball all sizes)
- C – Plum 718 (1 ball all sizes)
- D – Liqueur 595 (1 ball all sizes)
- E – Anthracite 639 (1–2 balls depending on size)
- F – Drab 588 (1–2 balls depending on size)
- G – Dewberry 600 (1–2 balls depending on size)
- H – Smoke 605 (1 ball all sizes)
- I – Trance 582 (1–2 balls depending on size)
- J – Mint 693 (1 ball all sizes)
- K – Olive 721 (1 ball all sizes)
- L – Bl'currant 641 (1 ball all sizes)
- M – Heavenly 592 (1 ball all sizes)
- N – Hurricane 632 (1 ball all sizes)
- O – Burnt Orange 729 (1 ball all sizes)
- P – Burnt Caramel 680 (1 ball all sizes)
This extensive colour palette is central to the design's character. The colours range from soft blush pinks and mints through deep plums, smoky neutrals, warm burnt oranges, and rich berry tones, creating the layered, jewel-like depth that Kaffe Fassett is celebrated for.
Needles and Notions
The pattern calls for a pair of 3 mm needles and a pair of 3.25 mm needles. The smaller needles are used for the ribbed or textured edging sections, while the larger needles are used for the main body knitted in stocking stitch. The pattern also specifies five buttons, 15 mm in diameter, to fasten the cardigan front.
Construction and Techniques
The Wentworth Cardigan is constructed in flat, separate pieces — a back, two fronts, and sleeves — which are then seamed together. This is a traditional approach well suited to a garment with so many colour changes, as it keeps the knitting manageable and allows each piece to be blocked individually before assembly.
