Nadia Jeanne Cardigan - DK

This cardigan is knit from the top down with raglan sleeves and no seams. The Feather & Fan pattern along the fronts and on the back is a 6-row repeat with a garter stitch across the 6th row. Techniques used are: YO, K2tog and SSK. Raglan increases are made using LLI and RLI. You can find many “youtube” tutorials that provide instructions for these increases.

The pattern is written in two gauges. This version is for DK weight yarn. I used Valley Yarns’ Hawley, a soft blend of cotton, silk and nylon. It is available in 19 colors. Any yarn with the same gauge will work for this pattern.
