Castaway Cardigan

Castaway Cardigan - Inspiration

Through the Eyes of a Machine Knitter

This one caught my eye and I couldn’t resist passing it along!

Slip into coastal comfort with the Castaway Cardigan! Designed with eyelet stitch detail, this beautiful cardigan is light, airy, and perfect for those in-between-season evenings. The name is a playful nod to both casting on and casting a net—fisherman-chic meets machine-knitting ease.

Want to make it your own? Swap in any eyelet variation, or try the Knit it Now Radiant Lace Stitch for a fresh look.

Convert the designer's original pattern or use the Knit it Now Dynamic pattern and let it do all the math for you—just choose your yarn, your machine, and your favorite stitch pattern, and start knitting!
