Aneeta | Wrap Cardigan Knitting Pattern

£12.50

Do you adore the elegance of a wrap cardigan but dread the inevitable bust gaping? You deserve to feel confident and shapely in every garment you knit. The Aneeta wrap cardigan knitting pattern is here to change the narrative, empowering you to create a piece that perfectly fits your body, your style, and your life.

Imagine settling onto the sofa after a long day, picking up your knitting, and letting your hands work their magic on a project that’s genuinely relaxing. Its classic lace rib features an easy-to-memorize 2-row repeat (the wrong side is purled, so no concentration required), making it the ideal companion for unwinding, while still creating something truly stunning.

But here’s where Aneeta truly shines: its ingenious design for a beautiful and secure fit. We all know the frustration of a wrap bodice that just doesn’t sit right.  I know I do!  That’s why this pattern exists.

That’s also why this pattern includes thoughtful details like cup sizes, optional waist darts, and targeted bust shaping increases – all designed to eliminate that dreaded bust gaping and ensure your cardigan always lays beautifully.

You’ll choose from variations that either define your waist or offer a streamlined silhouette, crafting a piece that makes you feel utterly polished and comfortable in your own skin.

Knitting Aneeta means creating a versatile, all-seasons layering piece. Whether you choose a breathable cotton for summer evenings or a cozy wool for winter warmth, those straight sleeves and loose cuffs make it perfect over anything.

When you slip on your finished Aneeta Cardigan, you won’t just see a beautifully knitted garment; you’ll feel an incredible surge of pride. You’ll know you didn’t just follow a pattern; you customized it, making it truly yours.

You’ll look shapely, feel completely put-together, and revel in the comfort of a wrap cardigan made to serve your unique shape. This isn’t just knitting; it’s an act of self-care and empowerment.

Your Aneeta pattern comes with an illustrated guide for custom bust shaping and direct email support from me.

Description

Aneeta is an all-seasons lace wrap cardigan knitting pattern in a classic lace rib.  You can wear it as a summer cardigan by using cotton or cotton blend yarns.  On the other hand, knit it in wool yarn for a stylish winter cover-up.  You’ll also find the 2-row lace repeat easy to memorise!  (Especially as one of those two rows is purled all the way through.)

Knitted bust darts for a perfect fit

You will achieve a good fit thanks to the optional waist darts and bust shaping increases.  This also means there will be NO gaping at the bust!  I have modelled the Aneeta cardigan with an inch or two of positive ease, but you can change the fit depending on your style preferences.

The straight sleeve and loose-fitting cuff make Aneeta an easy layering piece.   Sleeved and sleeveless garments are comfortable to wear with this lace knitted cardigan.  Long sleeves won’t crumple in winter, and your arms will enjoy ventilation in summer.

A wrap cardigan knitting pattern that’s secure AND pretty

Variation 1 of Aneeta features mitred shaping worked through the ribbing, which is belly-friendly and will create or emphasise waist definition.
Variation 2 of Aneeta omits this waist shaping; consequently, the ribbing is worked straight for a streamlined shape.
Bust shaping increases are possible with both variations.

Here’s a photo of the darts in action.  This is what you’ll see when you’re knitting the left front with darts and the garment is laid flat:

Please see the schematic and measurements chart for further details on sizing.

Special techniques for the Aneeta knitting pattern include:

  • lace increases and decreases (yo, ssk, k2tog, sk2po), central double decrease (CDD)
  • ‘make 1’ style increases
  • German short rows
