Introducing the Ancient Shores cardigan, an exquisite “sweater coat” that combines classic design with ultimate practicality. This beautiful knitting pattern features a unique textured pattern stitch, inspired by a blend of garter and slip stitch techniques, which can be easily crafted using any standard worsted weight yarn. Perfect for knitters looking for a project that's simple to learn, this cardigan knits up quickly and minimizes the hassle of color changes, requiring only a few ends to weave in afterwards!
The construction of the Ancient Shores cardigan involves knitting the body flat and bottom-up in one seamless piece. All upper body shaping is expertly crafted without seams, with the exception of two small underarm seams for added structure. The sleeves are elegantly knitted in the round, making integration easy when joined to the body at the underarm area. The stunning shawl collar features German short rows, which not only enhance its design but also provide a cozy fit. For those seeking functionality, inset pockets are available as an optional addition. This pattern includes a comprehensive schematic with sizing details, clear written instructions, and a charted stitch pattern to guide you through the process effortlessly.
For optimal results, the gauge is 24 stitches and 36 rows over a 10 cm/4 in area when measured over the textured stitch pattern using a 5.0 mm (US 8) needle.
In the sample garment, the main color used is the lovely Berroco Vintage in Twilight (col 51184), which beautifully showcases the intricate design of this cardigan.
This knitting pattern is categorized as an Intermediate level, perfect for those who are ready to take on a captivating and stylish project. Transform your knitting collection with the sophisticated and versatile Ancient Shores cardigan today!
