Free knitting pattern:
Shawl collar cardigan top-down in Lana Grossa Orsettini

With this free knitting pattern from Lana Grossa, you can knit a timeless shawl-collar cardigan in a modern top-down style. The model is from the Lana Grossa NERA No. 3 magazine and is worked seamlessly from top to bottom in one piece.

The top-down cardigan is knitted in stockinette stitch, which beautifully highlights the high-quality yarn structure. Its generous silhouette makes the cardigan a versatile companion for everyday life, the office, and leisure.

The pattern uses Lana Grossa Orsettini, a soft yarn made of 86% merino wool and 14% polyamide. This combination ensures a comfortable feel, easy-care properties, and good shape retention.

The knitting pattern for women is designed for sizes 36/38 to 48/50. Depending on the size, approximately 350 to 500 g of Lana Grossa Orsettini are required. Additionally, you will need 5 mm knitting needles, a short 5 mm circular knitting needle, a stitch marker, and a 5 mm crochet hook.

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