Knitting pattern for the Ruke Iris cardigan

The Ruke Iris cardigan is a designer’s wardrobe knit that pairs beautifully with elegant everyday wear. The cardigan features a beautiful stitch pattern with interwoven ribs, making the knitting process fun and engaging while creating a refined, textured fabric.
This cardigan is knitted from top to bottom, with the yoke and body worked flat in rows. The sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round, ensuring a comfortable and fluid fit. The front opening is worked flat in double knit and finished with three buttons, forming a clean, deep V-shaped neckline that gives the cardigan a relaxed and modern look.
The hem is worked flat, with the front and back knitted separately, resulting in a slightly longer back hem than the front. This construction creates subtle side slits that add movement and lightness to the garment. The silhouette of the Ruke Iris cardigan is softly tapered, adding a feminine and elegant touch.
