The AlpenChic traditional cardigan combines classic elements with a relaxed, modern style.
The striking textured pattern in anthracite is paired with contrasting borders and wide sleeve cuffs in plum – a colour combination that looks beautiful with a dirndl and traditional outfits, but can just as easily be styled with jeans, a skirt or a dress.
You can also see just how versatile AlpenChic is in the product photos:
Alongside the traditional version, you’ll find an everyday styling option that shows how effortlessly this cardigan can be worn beyond dirndls and traditional dress.
One of the special features of this design is the beautifully worked crochet borders along the front edges.
Wide sleeve cuffs repeat the contrasting colour and give the cardigan its distinctive AlpenChic look.
When it comes to the pockets, you won’t have to rely on the written instructions alone:
A detailed photo series guides you step by step through working the pockets, making this special part of the construction easy to follow.
What you’ll find in the pattern:
Sizes S | M | L | XL
Detailed step-by-step instructions
Photo series showing how to work the pockets
Row-by-row pattern instructions
Crochet charts for the main pattern, borders and sleeve cuffs
Schematic with measurements
Integrated pockets
Yarn and quantity information for all sizes
AlpenChic is more than just a traditional cardigan:
Wear it with a dirndl for a traditional look, style it casually for everyday wear, and enjoy all those special crochet details that make this design stand out.
