With this free knitting pattern from Lana Grossa, you can knit a casual cardigan yourself using the soft and voluminous Chapeau yarn. The model comes from the Lana Grossa NERA No. 3 magazine and is worked in one piece from the top down.

The cardigan features a relaxed fit, a deep V-neck, and voluminous sleeves. The simple stockinette stitch allows the unique texture of Lana Grossa Chapeau to truly shine. This tubular yarn, made of 56% baby alpaca, 24% merino wool, and 20% recycled polyamide, is soft, lightweight, and voluminous all at once.

The pattern is designed for sizes 36/38 to 48/50. Depending on the size, you will need approximately 400 to 550 g of Lana Grossa Chapeau, as well as circular knitting needles in sizes 5 and 7 mm and a set of double-pointed needles in size 5 mm.

Since the top-down cardigan is knitted in one piece from the top down, it creates a modern knitting project with only a few finishing steps. Raglan increases, short rows, and the rib pattern create its characteristic shape and loose silhouette.
