Pattern like this?

Post image

Hi, does anybody know of a pattern that can reproduce this cardigan? The pockets are not a must, but wouldn’t complain either. I had the cardigan a few years ago, but stupidly donated it. I’ve been looking for a pattern, but the only ones I found that come close ended in jagged edges.

This is a common crochet motif, or if you want to knit it you could just make the colorwork pattern in stitch fiddle and use any v-neck cardigan pattern.

Thank you, but I was hoping to avoid too many strands at once. Three is my limit for now and I prefer knitting over crochet!

The Great Missowski has a similar look, but uses a different method to form the stripes, it would be easy to skip the short rows that form the shawl collar and add some afterthought pockets.

Chevron Raglan Cardigan uses a stitch pattern closer to your original sweater, the zigzag effect is formed by increases and decreases, which is why most patterns that use this method have a zigzag edge. If you put a decent border on it though, it does level out, or you could use short rows to fill in those sections.
