what knitters are saying

Jenifer @jeniferstitches

The Wayfarer Cardi V is an absolute must-knit! It’s the staple cardigan I’ve been dreaming of—fun to make, incredibly satisfying, and the fit is spot on. I love that it’s truly gender-neutral, with clean lines and thoughtful details that work for everyone. Plus, the endless options—different yarns, buttons, and your choice of a double-knit or ribbed button band—make it easy to customize a look that’s uniquely yours.

Nanette

This beautiful Wayfarer Cardi V has a timeless, classic design that will become a main staple in your wardrobe. It can be worn with casual or dressy attire and has a lovely fit. I’m looking forward to knitting another one.

@kyraileeknits

This pattern is so versatile!! You can create so many cute variants of this cardigan by altering the body length, using different yarn combinations, and choosing between a double knit or ribbed button band. Definitely planning on making another one!

Wayfarer Cardi V was a cardigan pattern that I really wanted to knit. That's why I was very happy to participate in the test knitting. It was a smooth and enjoyable process. I am very happy with the result. I would like to thank Liv for giving me the opportunity to experience this. And I am always ready for new test knitting 🥰

Another amazing test knit for Ulven Knit. I love the shape and customization options for this sweater. The Aran weight gauge really makes this project ✨run✨ by. I cannot wait to make this a staple I re-knit for years to come. I did crop the cardi, based on personal fit preference, but the pattern makes it easy to do so.

I loved every part of knitting this pattern, however the shoulder fit was an extra win for me. I have narrow shoulders and a full bust so it is hard to find garments that fit both areas as well as this cardigan does. The pattern is easy to follow and well explained.

Cristiana, @sampleoftheyarn

I was lucky enough to test knit the Wayfarer Cardi V for Liv. The process is quite amazing, super fluid, a no-brain project that turns out a super staple and a gorgeous fit. This sample will be a gift knit, but I can't wait to knit another one for myself. I can imagine it in a linen yarn as well, to make a lightweight cover for summer too. Super versatile and beautiful. Cristiana, @sampleoftheyarn

This is a great example of a good quality pattern for a wardrobe staple. I will be knitting this repeatedly, in different colours, different lengths and different stitches. Well done Liv!

I really enjoyed knitting this sweater. The entire process was enjoyable and the pattern easy to follow. This was my first time making a button band but the directions were so clear that I had no issue with it. Highly recommend this cardigan! It’s going to make a great addition to my fall and winter wardrobe.

@crawfordlois

This was a truly enjoyable sweater to knit! For all the years I have been knitting I have never actually made a classic V-neck cardigan. I’m so happy I decided to make this particular one - the pattern was easy to follow and the fit was perfect.
