Rutland Cardigan (Knit)

Everyone loves a cozy sweater! I enjoy quiet time so much and it is almost a must to be wrapped in a cozy chunky knit sweater. The Rutland Cardigan is inspired by quirky and cozy historical home we moved into. The sweater has effortless drape and feels like a warm hug. Made with dropped shoulder construction, this cardigan is the perfect pattern for beginner knitters who want to try their hand at textured stitches and simple shaping.

*** Care for your Handmade Garment***

Refer to your yarn label for care and washing instructions. However, for best results and longevity, hand wash or soak your crochet/knit garments separately to clean and lay flat to dry. If you wash in the machine, do not wash along with garments/accessories that have hardware such as bra clips or buttons.
