The Ribbed Chelsea Cardigan is the ultimate blend of cozy comfort and timeless style, featuring a classic ribbed texture and a flattering V-neck silhouette that makes it a go-to layering piece for cooler weather. This adult-sized, oversized cardigan is designed with generous positive ease, giving it that relaxed, lived-in feel while still maintaining a polished, tailored look. The construction is thoughtfully engineered as a one-piece, top-down design, worked flat to allow for straightforward shaping and easy length customization. The use of raglan sleeves offers a smooth and seamless fit through the shoulders, while the long sleeves add extra warmth and versatility. With its seamless construction, there’s minimal finishing required—ideal for knitters who want to focus on the joy of knitting rather than piecing everything together. The buttoned front adds a classic touch, and functional buttonholes are integrated neatly along the ribbed edge, giving the piece structure and wearability. This cardigan is especially beginner-friendly due to its straightforward ribbed pattern, but it’s also rewarding for more experienced knitters who appreciate a clean, modern aesthetic and intuitive shaping. Whether you wear it open over a casual tee or buttoned up for a snug, layered look, the Ribbed Chelsea Cardigan is a versatile wardrobe staple that offers effortless style, warmth, and the joy of a perfectly handmade garment.
