Rest Calm and Remember Me are the same design in two different yarn weights: with the purchase of one you’ll get the other for free, no code needed!

Inspired by the old English countryside, this cardi could have been worn in an Agatha Christie movie! You can totally see yourself walking through a little cozy village wearing this.

Rest Calm is a rustic cardigan combining moss stitch and simple cables. The cardigan is worked seamlessly top-down with European shoulder construction and a deep V-neck. The body is worked flat and straight. The pattern contains three sleeve length options to get the perfect fit for your arms. The stitch patterns are intuitive, but will require you to be able to read your knitting and keep track of increases.

This is a bit of a “choose your adventure” pattern. There are two options for the style of the cable (cable B is shown in the sample photos), this design is available in two different yarn weights (the fingering weight one can be found as Remember Me) and you can either work a regular narrow buttonband or add a shawl collar. Mix and match to your heart’s desire!
