Description

Elegant, wearable, and thoughtfully constructed, the Armor Cardigan brings timeless style to your handmade wardrobe. Designed with a relaxed cardigan silhouette, this garment features a refined texture using the beautifully simple armor stitch—a rhythmic pattern that’s engaging to knit and creates a subtle yet striking surface. Worked seamlessly from the top down, the design includes raglan shaping, long sleeves, and a neat collar. The pattern offers both button and zipper closure options, giving you the flexibility to finish the cardigan to suit your style. With its clean lines and understated texture, the Armor Cardigan is an ideal layering piece for everyday elegance.

The Fibre Co.'s &Make DK yarn is perfectly suited to highlight the structure and softness of this design. A versatile, plump DK-weight yarn spun from natural fibres, &Make DK lends both drape and resilience, ensuring your cardigan will hold its shape and beauty through seasons of wear. Whether you're expanding your skills or seeking a polished, go-to knit, the Armor Cardigan Kit is a satisfying and stylish project.
