The Knit LIVES Cardigan is a versatile and thoughtfully designed V-neck raglan cardigan that perfectly balances simplicity, comfort, and creative potential. Worked seamlessly from the top down, this pattern allows for a smooth, tailored fit while offering plenty of room for personal expression. The construction begins with a shallow back neck shaped using short rows, ensuring a natural and flattering neckline. From there, the yoke and body are worked back and forth, allowing the knitter to easily customize length and shaping as desired. Once the sleeves are set aside at the underarm, they’re later worked top-down in the round, creating a sleek, continuous line with no seams to sew. The result is a polished yet relaxed garment that can be styled in multiple ways—thanks to its clever design, you can even wear it backwards for a completely different look, transforming it from a classic cardigan into a modern button-up pullover. While the pattern is written for a solid color, it also offers endless possibilities for customization; experimenting with stripes, bold color blocking, or subtle tonal shades can make each version uniquely yours. Whether knit in soft neutrals for an everyday wardrobe staple or in vibrant hues for a playful statement piece, the LIVES Cardigan is a timeless knit that adapts effortlessly to your mood, style, and imagination.
