Meet the updated semilla cardigan!
semilla cardigan
Semilla originally launched in 2023, but it deserved a refresh based on everything I have learned about grading and pattern design over the past two years.
Semilla is the perfect companion to your everyday - the rhythmic seed st helps you relax at the end of the day, the eyelets inspire you and remind you that you can do anything, and the finished piece is a wardrobe staple that you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.
This pattern offers:
12 sizes from 26" to 76" actual chest with 15-16" of positive ease
Armhole shaping for a consistent drop shoulder seam across the size range
Sleeve cap shaping for additional movement
Shoulder shaping so your cardigan doesn’t fall off your shoulders
Optional cup shaping for those who want some extra space in the chest
Two button band options (vertical or horizontal)
Two cast-on options (tubular or your choice)
your days are full. It’s time to feel fulfilled.
At Kirsten Joel Designs, you’ll find versatile knitting patterns that fit your body and your lifestyle without distracting you from it.
