Rehoboth Cardigan – Knitting Pattern for Women by Tahki Yarns in Coronado

The Rehoboth Cardigan is a women's knitted cardigan pattern designed by Therese Chenoweth and published by Tahki Yarns. Rated Easy, this is an excellent project for beginner to confident beginner knitters who want to build their skills while creating a polished, wearable garment. The pattern is available as a downloadable PDF and is worked in Tahki Yarns Coronado, a luxurious DK-weight yarn with a beautiful drape and subtle sheen.

About the Design

The Rehoboth Cardigan is a relaxed, flattering open-front cardigan designed with 2–4 inches of positive ease, making it comfortable and easy to wear over a variety of outfits. The silhouette is clean and classic, with textural interest provided by an Alternating Rib stitch pattern that adds dimension without overwhelming the overall aesthetic. The cardigan is worked in pieces and then seamed together, making it a wonderful introduction to the satisfying craft of finishing a structured knitted garment.

Sizes Available

• Small, Medium, Large, 1X, 2X, 3X
• Bust measurements: 36½ (40½, 44, 48, 52, 55½) inches — 92.5 (103, 112, 122, 132, 141) cm
• Length: 21½ (22, 22¾, 23¼, 24, 24¾) inches — 54.5 (56, 58, 59, 61, 63) cm

The generous size range makes this cardigan accessible to a wide range of knitters and body types, and the positive ease ensures a comfortable, relaxed fit across all sizes.

Techniques Used

The Rehoboth Cardigan is constructed using the worked flat method, meaning the individual pieces — such as the front panels, back, and sleeves — are knitted back and forth in rows rather than in the round. Once all pieces are complete, they are joined using seaming, a traditional construction technique that gives the finished cardigan structure, stability, and a professional look. Seamed garments are often preferred for their durability and the way they hold their shape over time.

Stitches Used

• Stockinette stitch — the primary body stitch, creating a smooth, classic fabric
• Alternating Rib — a textured stitch pattern used for detailing and edging, worked over a repeating sequence of rows to create a rhythmic, structured ribbed effect

The Alternating Rib pattern is worked in a specific sequence of row repeats — for example, working Rows 1 and 2 a set number of times, then Rows 3 and 4 a set number of times — giving the ribbing a subtle, layered texture that elevates the overall look of the cardigan beyond a simple stockinette fabric.

Gauge

Achieving the correct gauge is essential for this pattern. The target gauge is 21 stitches and 25 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) over Stockinette stitch using US size 6 (4mm) needles. Knitters are strongly encouraged to swatch and check their gauge before beginning, as even small variations can significantly affect the finished dimensions of the cardigan.
