Visible Darning Cardigan

This cardigan features a darning stitch—a traditional repair technique—recreated using an intarsia knitting technique. By reconstructing the rugged aesthetic of darning through knitting, we explore the potential of knitwear while retaining the warmth of handmade craftsmanship. It features an inside-out design, with the purl side of the knit facing outward and exposed seam allowances. The collar, cuffs, and hem are accented with loose thread details for a distressed, artisanal finish. The silhouette is a relaxed fit with ample room throughout, ensuring it doesn’t cling to the body. It serves as a statement piece on its own while also being perfect for layering.
