Clotilde Cardigan

Detail
The Clotilde Cardigan, the sister pattern of our Clotilde Sweater, is a soft and chunky cardigan in a bold diamond lace pattern. Top down and seamless, and worked with large needles and 4 strands together, Clotilde Cardigan is a quick, highly enjoyable knit. Simple ribbed edges, short-row back shaping and raglan construction finish a cardigan that has all the design elements to become a favorite in your wardrobe. Because of the boxy fit, it’s meant to be worn casually as an open cardigan. However, if you’d prefer to be able to button it, the pattern instructs to make two buttonholes, in the ribbed neckband and in the ribbed edge, and you can create additional buttonholes in the buttonbands by passing the buttons through the gap between two stitches. Clotilde Cardigan Lace patterns are charted only.

Solved my ‘sweater shrug dilemma’ — stays put when I laugh, bend, or reach for top-shelf snacks the shoulder line is architectural but never stiff the color shifts from warm taupe in sunlight to cool mushroom under lamps and it arrived wrapped in recycled silk with a sprig of dried mint I whispered thank you to the box
Miss ***********el PhD
Wore it teaching my ceramics class — zero lint transfer on clay, sleeves rolled to forearms without slipping, and the open front meant I could gesture wildly while explaining coil building the yarn didn’t pill, the shape held, and the package came with a care card written like a love letter to slow fashion yes I read it aloud to my cat

This cardigan is my anxiety antidote the weight is grounding the texture is whisper-soft and the way it frames my face makes me look like I planned my whole aesthetic instead of surviving on oat milk lattes and hope shipped lightning fast and the return label was pre-printed and smiling literally there was a smiley drawn in pen
Flor********sch
Beautiful drape and cozy feel but the buttonholes ran slightly small took five minutes to coax the first button through otherwise it’s my new coffee shop armor the ivory shade is truer than screen shows and it arrived with a tiny mending kit — thoughtful but not flawless
Im*****nt
Wore it to my sister’s outdoor wedding — stayed put during dancing didn’t snag on rose bushes held warmth without overheating and looked expensive on Zoom calls later the shipping box had origami-folded tissue and a QR code linking to styling reels I’m emotionally invested now
Ms. F**********mitt
This cardigan solved my ‘office-to-dinner whiplash’ — light enough for AC hell but luxe enough for candlelit pasta nights the ribbing is tight but forgiving the hem skims my waist without clinging and the packaging smelled like rain and sage I felt seen by a sweater
Prof. ************nreich
Love the minimalist elegance but wish the back seam sat flatter when sitting — minor gripes though the fabric breathes like magic in 85° weather and the collar stays perfectly perky no floppy fold nonsense customer service swapped my size same day and included a free stitch marker charm
Flo******re
Threw this on over my bike shorts and crop top for a farmers market run and instantly upgraded my ‘I woke up like this’ energy the buttons are weighty and satisfying the sleeves roll up cleanly no floppy cuffs no static cling and it arrived two days early with a little lavender sachet inside yes I cried a little
Cale********ler
Finally a cardigan that doesn’t eat my turtlenecks or swallow my wrists this one hits at the perfect hip line flows like liquid cashmere and survived my chaotic work-from-cafe life without pilling one bit shipped fast and packed with zero plastic love that earthy oat color so much it feels like wearing a hug from my therapist
