The Amulet Open Cardigan Free Knitting Pattern is an intricately designed yet deeply wearable garment that showcases thoughtful construction and beautiful stranded colorwork from start to finish. The cardigan begins at the shoulder plackets, worked back and forth in stranded colorwork, setting the tone for a striking and intentional design. From there, stitches are picked up along both plackets, with additional stitches cast on to form the back neck, followed by carefully placed short rows that shape the upper back for an excellent fit before continuing in smooth Stocking stitch down to the underarm. The fronts are worked separately by picking up stitches along each placket and knitting them to the underarm, after which the back and fronts are joined and worked back and forth in stranded colorwork to create a cohesive, visually engaging body. A simple ribbed waistband provides a clean, polished finish and is completed with a tubular cast-off for a soft, elastic edge. The sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, with decreases shaping the sleeve beautifully, and finished with matching ribbed cuffs and a tubular cast-off in a contrasting color for a subtle design accent. To complete the cardigan, the front band and collar are worked in simple ribbing, shaped with short rows for comfort and drape, and finished once again with a tubular cast-off, resulting in a refined, modern open cardigan that highlights both technical skill and timeless style.
