Cotton & Cloud Bobble Cardigan by Kyoko Nakayoshi
What is Being Made
The Bobble Cardigan is an oversized, seamlessly knitted cardigan featuring an all-over bobble texture arranged in an attractive diagonal formation. Designed by Kyoko Nakayoshi in Spring 2014, this garment is crafted to be thick, warm, and versatile for cold weather wear. The cardigan is knitted from the top down in a single piece, eliminating the need for seaming. Available in multiple sizes ranging from UK 8-10 (32-34 inches) through UK 24-26 (48-50 inches), this design offers a distinctive silhouette inspired by the natural pebbles found during woodland walks.
Knitting Techniques Used
- Top-down seamless construction: The entire cardigan is knitted in one piece beginning at the neckline and working downward, eliminating seams for a polished finish
- Circular needle knitting: Uses circular needles throughout for both body and sleeve sections
- Magic Loop method: Optional technique for working sleeves with circular needles, allowing knitters to avoid purchasing additional needle sets
- Bobble stitch application: Three-dimensional bobbles are integrated throughout the fabric in a diagonal pattern to create textural interest
- Color customization: The pattern encourages knitters to experiment by working bobbles in contrasting yarn colors for additional design variation
Stitches and Stitch Details
The pattern incorporates bobble stitches as the primary textural element, worked in a diagonal formation across the body of the cardigan. The bobbles create a dimensional, tactile surface that adds visual and physical depth to the finished garment. The edging is worked with specific needle sizes to create a neat, finished appearance.
