If you purchase both pattern (the GARDEN cardigan and the GARDEN pullover) or have purchased one previously, the second one is 50% off! No code needed

My goal for the GARDEN cardigan was an open front cardigan with built in button bands that stays on the shoulders while working in the garden, with a nice neckline to keep your neck warm and a super easy to knit lace texture for a lightweight fabric. And yes, it has a hidden pocket on the inside :)

GARDEN Cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. You start working the back for the length of the armhole. Then you pick up the stitches for the front and work both fronts symmetrically for the length of the armhole. Then you join back and fronts to work the body in stitch pattern down to the bottom ribbing. Pick up the sleeve sts to work the sleeves both alike top down in rounds in stitch pattern. Optional attach the patch pocket.
Beside of weaving in the ends, there is no further finishing required.
