Mosspath Cardigan Knitting Pattern
Mosspath Cardigan Knitting Pattern
The Mosspath cardigan knitting pattern is a true wardrobe staple: a piece you can wear anywhere and everywhere, from casual everyday moments to more formal occasions. This design brings together timeless style and thoughtful construction in a modern handmade knitwear project.
The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down, featuring a contemporary European shoulder construction and a shallow V-neckline. The button band is finished with a neat double-knitting technique, giving the garment a clean, polished edge that holds its shape beautifully. The construction offers both structure and ease, making it an enjoyable project for intermediate and advanced knitters.
The starting point for this design was the yarn itself: Laine x Novita DK, developed in collaboration with West Yorkshire Spinners. Its beautiful drape, clear stitch definition, and tactile feel allow even simple stockinette to stand out, making it ideal for modern knitwear.
The colour is equally distinctive — a soft blend of moss and olive green that reflects the natural world, from forest floors to Mediterranean landscapes. The result is a nature-inspired cardigan that feels both grounded and refined.
