Hauberk

The Hauberk cardigan takes the traditional cardigan and infuses it with strong cables and seed stitches (like the chain mail) making the sleeves the emphasis of the sweater. This cardigan is knit bottom up beginning with the sleeves, then the body using worsted weight yarn. The simple but elegant design uses raglan shaping along the yoke and extra long cable infused sleeves, making it super cozy and enjoyable. There are optional short row sections along the neck and back to give this cardigan a well tailored look. The neck ribbing and button band are picked up and worked last and finished off with classic wooden buttons. This pattern can easily be adapted to fit any length body or sleeve. The original pattern is worked using Malabrigo Rios in the color Wholegrain. Cable pattern is worked in chart only.
