Shawl Collar Men’s Cardigan Knitting Pattern

May 13, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

This is an advanced level knitting pattern for a shawl collar cardigan that combines pure merino blend Country Classic yarn, squishy fisherman’s rib and a generous shawl collar to create a cozy and stylish cardigan. The raglan sleeves and invisible pockets add an elegant silhouette to the design.

It can be challenging to find stylish men’s knitting patterns as the market for men’s knitting patterns is not as extensive as it is for women’s patterns. However, Sirdar’s Men’s Capsule Collection offers a range of timeless and elegant patterns that are suitable for men of all ages and styles. The collection features ten co-ordinating knits that can be made again and again to complement any man’s style.

This pattern is perfect for advanced knitters who have experience with different techniques such as fisherman’s rib, raglan sleeves and invisible pockets, and are looking for a stylish and cozy cardigan. The pure merino blend of the Country Classic yarn makes it perfect for cold weather and the fisherman’s rib gives it a squishy and textured feel. The shawl collar adds an extra cozy touch to the cardigan and the elegant silhouette created by the raglan sleeves and invisible pockets make it perfect for any occasion.

The Men’s Capsule Collection by Sirdar is a great resource for knitters looking for stylish and timeless men’s knitting patterns. This particular pattern, Shawl Collar Cardigan in Country Classic Worsted, is a great example of the collection’s unique and elegant designs that are suitable for any man’s style.
