DESCRIPTION

You’ll be reaching for this cardigan on cool evenings and in air-conditioned offices. Cozy up in a blend of alpaca, merino, mohair and silk. You may find this to be your “go-to” cardigan and want to make more than one.

EXPERIENCE LEVEL

Advanced Beginner

Must know how to: knit and purl, at and in the round; work single decreases and increases; and how to pick up stitches. Will be working stocking and garter stitches.

PATTERN NOTES

A woman’s close-fitting, yoke-necked cardigan worked from the bottom up in three pieces in 2 colours. The body is worked at, with slight shaping for the waist, and the sleeves are worked in the round. The body and sleeves are worked separately to the base of the yoke, then joined to work the yoke. A simple 2-colour pattern is used on the yoke. The front bands are knit on last. Yarn is held double throughout.

Designed by Claudia Q for Eweknit
