Drizzle Cardigan
If you purchase 5 or more patterns from my Ravelry Store at the same time (be sure to place them all on your cart before checking out), you will automatically receive a 25% discount.
Cozy raglan sleeved cardigan with beautiful cables on back and ribbed pockets on front. The cardigan is worked seamlessly from top down.
The work begins with the back neck section of the ribbed button band. Stitches for fronts, sleeves and back are picked up from the edge of the button band and the upper body is then worked in one piece towards the underarms. When the raglan increases and V-neck shaping are completed, sleeve stitches are placed on hold. Body is worked towards the hem adding pockets as you go. Sleeve stitches are then placed on the needles and the sleeves are worked in the round towards the cuffs.
The pattern includes a photo tutorial for buttonholes. The cable pattern is charted.
