Knitting kit for the Vilja Cardigan by Sandnes Garn with a free German PDF pattern for download.

The simple cardigan has a loose, relaxed fit, making it very flattering. It is knitted with two strands held together in a rib stitch pattern, which is not too difficult but makes the jacket wonderfully substantial and compact.

The cardigan can be closed with three simple buttons. The continuous button band frames the simple V-shape of the neckline in a wonderfully classic way.

You knit your cardigan seamlessly from the top down, holding two strands of Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn together. The sleeves are added in the round, so they can be adjusted perfectly to your desired length.

The Vilja Cardigan is airy and lightweight yet compact. Super cozy and light, it is perfect for year-round wear.
