Webster cardigan

Job type Test knit
Description

The Webster Cardigan is a cozy, textured knit featuring elegant cable panels framed by moss stitch sections. Designed with versatility in mind, it includes afterthought pockets and customizable length options for both body and sleeves. Worked seamlessly from the bottom up and separated at the underarms, this cardigan combines classic stitch patterns with thoughtful construction—perfect for knitters looking to add a stylish, comfortable layer to their wardrobe.

This design is inspired by Webster Street in Ballarat, a charming, vibrant part of the city known for its mix of historic architecture and welcoming community spirit. Just like the street itself, the cardigan blends timeless style with practical warmth, making it a perfect everyday companion.
