Puro Cardigan Light

All patterns are available for purchase through Ravelry. Please visit the Ravelry page for details.

The Puro Cardigan Light is a lighter version of the Puro Cardigan, worked in DK-weight yarn for a lighter and more versatile fabric.

Like the other designs in the Puro series, it features the signature shoulder construction inspired by the structure often seen on trench coats. While retaining the overall construction of a raglan, the front is designed to have the clean, refined appearance of a set-in sleeve. Differentiated front and back increases create a clean line in the front while allowing ease of movement in the back.

The cardigan is knitted top-down, with the front band added afterwards. The length can easily be adjusted to suit your preference.

This pattern has been technically edited and test knitted.
