Agnete Cardigan Knitting Pattern by PetiteKnit
Printed knitting pattern in English. Yarn, needles and notions are purchased separately.
Agnete Cardigan by PetiteKnit: A V-neck brioche cardigan for adults, with integrated double-knitted button bands and a softly textured fabric.
Construction
Begin with the double-knitted back-neck section, then pick up stitches for the back and work the two fronts separately. Join these sections for a body worked flat in brioche, continuing the button bands as you go. Pick up the sleeves at the armholes and work them down in the round.

Gauge, needles and notions

4 buttons, 22–23 mm.
Sunday with Tynn Silk Mohair is a softer merino alternative to swatch. It is a shop suggestion, rather than a designer-specified combination; its quantities must be confirmed for your chosen gauge and fabric. In brioche, 56 rows count as 28 visible knit stitches. Prioritise stitch gauge and check row gauge carefully.
Original PetiteKnit yarn requirements
Choose one yarn option. Metres are converted from the designer’s stated quantities using the listed yarn specifications. Held-together components stay separate; where one yarn is held double, its column gives the total metres for both strands.

Before you begin
Make a washed or blocked swatch and check both gauge and fabric before starting. Buy complete balls, allowing extra yarn for swatching, changes to length or fit, and differences in gauge. The metre figures are based on the designer’s quantities, rather than exact measured consumption.
