Midland Cardigan by Laura Penrose

The MIDLAND CARDIGAN by Laura Penrose is a fresh take on cardigan construction, worked sideways for an engaging knitting experience. Its thoughtful design details, like a continuous faux seam along the sleeves and shoulders, give it a polished, tailored look and the applied double-knit button band and 1x1 ribbed hem add a clean, modern finish. As wearable as it is fun to knit, the customizable bicep circumference and body length ensure a perfect fit, making it a versatile wardrobe staple you’ll reach for on repeat. Whether you prefer seamed or seamless construction, the options allow you to tailor the project to your preferences. The result is a timeless, everyday cardigan that pairs effortlessly with everything from jeans to dresses.

Choosing your size
Designed to have an oversized tapered fit, the body length is slightly cropped so the cardigan sits between the natural waist and the hips. This is referred to as the ‘lower waist’. Make sure to choose a size with no more than 15cm / 6” positive ease at the lower waist or 25.5 - 30.5cm / 10-12” positive ease at the chest.
