We are thrilled to present the original Wool Bundle for Athens Collar Cardigan, designed by Soop Knits with the Biches & Bûches Wool Le Petit Lambswool and Le Petit Silk & Mohair 🐚

‘The Athens Collar Cardigan is a classic Aran-style cardigan with a simple and elegant feel, inspired by my trip to Greece. The highlight of this design is the softly curved collar—part of my Athens series!’

– Soop Knits

It is the fourth design by Soop Knits with Biches & Bûches, and Manmi's designs are filled with warmth, timelessness and captivating details. Add to that a touch of poetic dreams of Greece.

Manmi Choi, the designer behind Soop Knits, is based in South Korea and draws inspiration from Nature and daily life - ‘Soop' actually means Forest! Her patterns are written in English and Korean, with clarity and ease to follow in mind.

CONSTRUCTION

'The Athens Collar Cardigan is a drop-shoulder style cardigan featuring classic and lovely Aran textures with a softly curved collar as its main highlight. The fabric isn’t too thick, making it ideal for cool weather.

The cardigan is worked top-down, beginning with the saddle pieces. Stitches are picked up from the saddles to work the back, which is shaped at the shoulders using short rows and worked down to the underarm. Then, stitches are picked up from the saddles to work the fronts. The fronts are also shaped at the shoulders with short rows and worked down to the underarm, just like the back. The front and back pieces are then joined to work the body. Stitches are picked up along the front edges to create the button bands, and along the neckline to work the collar band and the collar. Sleeves are worked in the round after picking up stitches from the armholes. The cardigan is finished by sewing on the buttons.

Illustrations and video references are included for any tricky parts.
Charts are provided separately for each size.
To assist beginners who may find it difficult to read charts in the repeated seed stitch short row shaping section, the full rows are shown without relying on repeat indicators. Simply follow the chart as it is.
For the lower body, repeat instructions are not charted, just continue following the previously established pattern.'
