Cardigan Knitting Patterns: Button-Up Sweaters & Wraps

A cardigan is often the most worn item in a knitter's closet, offering the flexibility to transition between seasons with ease. At WEBS, we curate garment knitting patterns that cater to every aesthetic and technical preference. Whether you are looking for a structured blazer-style cardigan for the office or a relaxed cocoon-style wrap for home, our library provides the blueprints for professional-quality results.

Our collection features a wide range of shapes to suit your personal style and skill level:

• Classic Button-Up Cardigans: Explore timeless V-neck and crew-neck designs that showcase beautiful ribbing and buttonhole techniques.
• Oversized & Duster Sweaters: Find long-line cardigan patterns that use bulky yarn for a cozy, dramatic look that doubles as a light coat.
