Flette Cardi (EN)

The Flette Cardi is a cozy, bomber-style cardigan with a high neck and beautiful woven texture, perfect for layering in every season. It’s worked seamlessly from the top down with classic raglan increases and a striking cable pattern across the body. The high neckline can be worn up for warmth or folded down as a collar, while the wide raglan sleeves offer comfort and room for layering underneath.

This cardigan is fun to knit with its shifting textures from right and wrong sides, and the combination of cables and purl stitches creates a unique woven appearance. The body and sleeves are finished with structured ribbing in k3, p1, adding a refined edge to the garment.

You can knit the Flette Cardi in two different yarn combinations. For a soft, rustic feel, use Pura Lana from Gepard Garn (115 m/50 g) – requiring 400–700 g depending on your size. Alternatively, hold Trend Merino Petite from Viking Garn (235 m/50 g) double with a strand of Kid Seta from Gepard (210 m/25 g). This gives a light, fluffy finish with a gentle halo.

Sizes range from XS to XL, with chest measurements of 87 to 128 cm, and a recommended positive ease of 10–15 cm for a relaxed fit. The cardigan’s length varies slightly by size, from 45 to 50 cm, measured from the neckline (excluding ribbing).

The gauge is 21 stitches and 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette on 4.5 mm needles. Ribbing is worked on 4 mm and 3 mm needles for a tidy finish.

Perfect as a spring jacket or winter layer, the Flette Cardi is both practical and elegant. Whether you choose a rustic wool or a mohair blend, the result is a warm, textured cardigan you’ll love wearing.

Finished with a neat ribbed hem and button band, this cardigan is both fun to knit and a joy to wear.
