Chanson Cardigan Pattern

Chanson by Leah Prestamo is a drop-shouldered, deep V-neck cardigan with a pretty lace pattern at the hem and cuffs. This cardigan has a beautiful modern vintage feel, with a subtle, tonal marled fabric created by holding Cirro in shade Seraphic together with Cumbria Fingering in shade Scafell Pike.

Leah has also designed a cowl to accompany the cardigan, which is worked in the round to create a doubled fabric for a substantial neck warmer, and is easily adjusted to accommodate more or less leftover yarn from your cardigan project!

Chanson is part of the Better Together collection, six stunning knitting pattern designs from three fabulous knitwear designers.
