Champagne Cardigan by PetiteKnit Knitting Pack Kit

There is something so celebratory about the Champagne Cardigan by PetiteKnit. It’s the kind of garment that makes you feel instantly put-together, whether you're wearing it over a silky slip dress or just your favourite pair of worn-in jeans. We’ve put this Cardigan Kit together using the most divine combination of yarns: the plump, 100% merino Sandnes Double Sunday held together with a strand of delicate Kid Silk Mohair. The result? A fabric that is soft, bouncy, and has that signature "halo" that we all find so irresistible.

The design itself is a masterclass in classic simplicity. It’s worked from the top down with raglan increases and a gorgeous, deep V-neck that is universally flattering. To give it that professional, high-end finish, the neckline is shaped with short rows to raise the back for a perfect fit, and the button plackets are worked in double knitting. It’s these little details—the things that make people ask, "did you really make that?"—that make this project so rewarding to work on.

A rewarding challenge for the confident maker

Now, we should mention that this pattern sits at a 4 out of 5 stars for difficulty. It’s a project for when you want to really sink your teeth into your craft. You’ll be playing with short rows and double knitting for those crisp plackets, which is wonderfully satisfying once you get into the rhythm of it. But don't let the rating put you off—we are big believers that with a bit of patience and a good cup of tea, you can achieve anything! Plus, PetiteKnit has some brilliant video tutorials to guide you through the specific techniques.

When you order your Champagne Cardigan kit, we’ll pack up all the beautiful yarn you need for your size and send the PDF pattern directly to your inbox via our LYS Ravelry scheme (usually within 48 hours). It’s a bit of slow-fashion luxury that you’ll be incredibly proud to say you made yourself. It’s not just a cardigan; it’s a future heirloom!

Size guide
The Champagne Cardigan has an oversize fit and is designed to have approx. 28 cm [11 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 28 cm [11 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches].

The measurements for the finished garment can be found on the front page of the pattern. Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size to knit. For example, if you measure 106 cm [41¾ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size XL. A size XL sweater has a bust circumference of 134 cm [52¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 28 cm [11 inches] of positive ease.

The model in the picture has a bust circumference of 82 cm 32¼ inches. She is 164 cm 5’5” tall and is wearing Champagne Cardigan in a size XS.
