Bellis cardigan
Discover the charm of this beautifully crafted crew neck cardigan, perfect for cozy evenings and stylish layers. This pattern guides you through the process of knitting the cardigan back and forth from the bottom to the top, featuring an elegant cable pattern that adorns the body. To complete the project, you'll pick up the sleeve stitches and work them in the round using a purl stockinette stitch. Short rows are employed to form the rounded shape of the sleeves, ensuring a comfortable fit. Once the body is finished, the buttoning bands and the collar are raised, giving the cardigan a polished and sophisticated appearance.
