Lately, we’ve really been feeling the vintage vibes here at fibre space. When we stumbled across this cardigan, we knew we had to make it. Ariana is granny squares assembled on an angle to create a pattern reminiscent of argyle. Deep ribbing and buttons draw the squares together into a vintage silhouette. Make it one color for a simple yet elegant look. Make it in two colors (one for the granny squares and one for the ribbing) for a bold color block look. Or, make it in four or more colors for the deep vintage appeal of that throw on the back of your grandma’s favorite chair. While this cardigan is made in worsted weight, the open and airy granny squares make this cardigan the perfect accompaniment Fall through to Spring.

Danielle’s Ariana was done in Wooldreamers Mota. To get gauge on her granny squares, she eliminated one round of the granny. She completed the entire granny squares before using slip stitch to seam them together.
