Get ready to be dazzled because I’m here to unveil my newest creation: the “Diamond Delight Cardigan.” Drawing inspiration from the beloved Granny Diamond Stitch Cardigan, this piece is a fresh take on the classic, incorporating fewer diamonds and a streamlined color palette for a chic, contemporary look.

The Inspiration

My journey started with the vibrant and intricate Granny Diamond stitch cardigan, a piece adorned with seven colors and rich in design. From there, the idea was born to craft something new yet familiar – a cardigan that blends simplicity with elegance. The Diamond Delight Cardigan emerged, a cropped, oversized gem that uses three stunning colors to bring its personality to life.

The Design

This cardigan is all about making a statement while keeping things straightforward. I used a base color of wheat, a neutral yet warm tone that sets the perfect canvas for the vibrant old pink and cherry diamond accents. The construction is refreshingly simple: it’s all crafted in one piece! You start with the waistband and back panel, seamlessly transitioning to the sleeves and front panels. Only minimal sewing is required, making it a delightfully direct path to a fabulous finish.
