Textured Aran Cardigan with Bobble Panel (Knitting Pattern PDF)

A classic, structured button-front cardigan worked flat with a bold centre panel of twists and bobbles, framed by moss stitch borders and finished with set-in sleeves and a picked-up neckband.

What you’ll make: A longline, button-front cardigan with an all-over structured feel, a defined centre panel motif, moss stitch borders, and a neat neckband finish.

Yarn: Aran / Worsted-weight yarn to match the stated gauge (this design works well in 100% cotton, cotton–acrylic blend, or a cotton–wool blend for extra bounce/definition).

Needles & notions: 4 mm and 5 mm knitting needles; cable needle; stitch holder; 6 buttons; tapestry needle.

Tension (gauge): 19 stitches × 24 rows to 10 cm (4 in) over stocking stitch using 5 mm needles.

Yarn Suggestions: Rowan Handknit Cotton; Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran; DROPS Paris; Scheepjes Cahlista; Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton; Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8; Rico Creative Cotton Aran.

Construction notes: Worked flat in pieces. Back and fronts use a 29-stitch pattern panel (12-row repeat) with twists/cables and bobbles; moss stitch rib at lower edge; button band and buttonhole band worked separately; neckband picked up around the neckline with a neat buttonhole continuation; set-in sleeves shaped with increases while maintaining the panel and working remaining stitches in reverse stocking stitch.

Skill level: Confident intermediate (cables/twists, bobbles, shaping, picking up stitches, buttonholes).

Sizing: To fit bust 32–34 (34–36; 36–38) in / 81–86 (86–91; 91–96) cm.

Finished measurements: Width 42 (44; 46) in / 107 (112; 117) cm; Length 20 (20½; 21) in / 51 (52; 53) cm; Sleeve length 17 (17½; 18) in / 43 (44; 46) cm.
