Port Vell Cardigan

Port Vell is inspired by the timeless knit and purl motives of gansey sweaters, which I adore!

This cropped cardigan features three-quarter-length sleeves and three distinctive panels of knit-and-purl textures. The modified raglan construction ensures a perfect fit at the shoulders and a comfortable neckline.

The sample is knit in Wensely Worsted by La Bien Aimée, a beautiful yarn with a lovely stitch definition.

Port Vell Cardigan is the companion pattern to the super popular Port Vell Cowl which I created last year for my favorite knitting festival, Barcelona Knits.

The Port Vell Cardigan is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke and a round neck. The button plackets and neckband are picked up and knit in 2x2 ribbing in a contrast color. The cuff and hem can also be worked in a contrast color.
