Fernanda Cardigan Knitting Pattern
The Fernanda Cardigan is an oversized, statement-making knit designed with deep comfort and effortless style in mind. Featuring contrasting intarsia pockets, bold proportions, and plush texture, this intermediate-level cardigan is worked in five pieces and seamed for structure. Knit flat in Amano Yana — a luxurious 100% wool super bulky yarn — this is a rewarding, quick knit perfect for layering through the colder months.
