Basket Saddle Cardigan

This unique knitting pattern is filled with innovative techniques—perfect for adventurous novice knitters and seasoned knitters who love to keep their projects engaging. This seamless design is worked from the top-down, starting with charming cabled shoulder tabs that add a touch of elegance. From there, the back and front sections are skillfully picked up from the shoulder tabs and worked downward, ensuring a beautifully finished piece. The sleeves are expertly crafted by picking up stitches around the armhole edges, followed by a series of decreases leading to the cuffs for a tailored fit.

One of the standout features of this pattern is the seamless pocket construction. You’ll create pockets using waste yarn while knitting the body, then easily work the linings by picking up stitches from the portions held by the waste yarn. This method not only keeps the process enjoyable but also adds functional elements to your finished garment.

Whether you're a beginner looking to enhance your skills or an experienced knitter in search of a captivating project, this pattern has a variety of interesting techniques to keep you engaged from start to finish. You’ll discover something new and exciting with every step, so you’ll never experience dull moments!
