Allspice (3m-14y)

Allspice Cardigan is a delightful and playful addition to your knitting repertoire, perfect for those who love a girly touch in their wardrobe. This charming cardigan features adorable ribbed or belled ruffles and a textured ribbed pattern that adds personality and flair. Allspice is part of the popular “Spice Girls" series of cardigans, each meticulously designed for everyday wear and infused with its own unique spice.

Allspice is thoughtfully crafted as a variation of the Saffron design; it is worked seamlessly from the top down and incorporates clever short rows to shape the shoulders and create set-in sleeves. While Allspice and Saffron share a similar aesthetic, the fit and construction differ significantly. Unlike Saffron, which is designed as a top-down raglan shrug, Allspice boasts a more tailored and elegant silhouette.

This cardigan is constructed entirely without seams, ensuring a smooth finish and comfortable wear. It's an ideal choice for knitters looking to enhance their skills and tackle new techniques!

Allspice is best suited for intermediate knitters or adventurous advanced beginners who are eager to expand their crafting abilities. The combination of techniques in this pattern will inspire creativity and confidence in every stitch.

Gauge: After blocking, achieve a gauge of 23 stitches and 30-31 rows per 10x10 cm or 4x4 inches in stockinette stitch, using 3.75 mm (US #5) needles or adjust to obtain the correct gauge.

Yarn Recommendation: This pattern works beautifully with sports to light DK weight yarn, allowing for a variety of color choices and textures to suit your personal style.
