Lowther is a timeless cardigan knitting pattern for all genders, designed by Lotta H Löthgren in both The Fibre Co. Cumbria and Cumbria Fingering. Inspired by traditional workwear cardigans that typically have V-necks and buttoned closures, Lowther is a classic garment you’ll wear for years.
Cumbria and Cumbria Fingering are ideal yarn choices for a wardrobe staple like Lowther. They knit up into a soft, yet strong fabric that is perfect for everyday wear.
Lotta says, “My hope is that this will be a cardigan for all days and all times, one that will be mended and loved, maybe given patches when the elbows are wearing thin, and this it will age well with its owner.”
Lowther is a versatile cardigan knitting pattern to add to your collection as it includes instructions to knit the fingering and worsted weight version, and is designed in 9 sizes from a 30-64″ chest. You can purchase the Lowther pattern from our online shop or from Ravelry now.
