Milo The Cardigan

A classic cardigan, Milo is worked seamlessly from the bottom up in a handsome combination of cables and reverse stockinette stitch. After knitting the pocket linings, the body is worked in one piece and sloped bind offs shape the shoulders. The modified dropped shoulder construction brings a better fit, with German short rows worked flat in the sleeve cap. Sleeves are then worked in the round with the cable continuing in the ribbed cuffs.

Milo is unisex and the only difference is the placement of the buttonhole band and the length of sleeves. For similar chest measurements, men often have longer arms than women, so the pattern includes sleeve shaping for both options. As the sleeves are worked from shoulder towards the cuffs, length of sleeve can be customised easily.

Recommended positive ease between 20 and 30cm (8-12”).
