Berry Cardigan
Berry Cardigan Knitting Pattern: This beautifully crafted cardigan begins its construction at the front, starting just above the chest and gently progressing up to the shoulder. From there, it continues seamlessly to the back until the back reaches the same length as the front. At this point, all stitches—both front and back—are joined in a continuous round, creating a fluid and cohesive design. This innovative construction method is specifically tailored to showcase the stunning gradient color changes of Scheepjes Whirl yarn, while also cleverly minimizing the need for seaming, as noted by one of our talented test knitters, Mrs. Devi.
This simple yet elegant cardigan features a stunning lace panel on the back, providing a delicate touch, along with a little waist shaping for a flattering fit. Additionally, you’ll find a charming detail of Latvian braid adorning the button band, adding a unique and artisanal flair. The lace panel is available in both written instructions and chart form, ensuring that every knitter can choose the method that best suits their style.
The length of the Berry Cardigan is customizable; knitters can easily modify it to be as long or as short as they desire. The pattern includes specific sections dedicated to length adjustments, making it easy to create a perfectly tailored fit. Throughout the instructions, you’ll find helpful notes specifically for users of Scheepjes Whirl, drawn from my personal project experience.
This pattern requires three distinct colors of yarn: Color A is used for the entire body of the cardigan, Color B enhances the Latvian braid detail, and Color C is designated for the ribbing, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing garment. The pattern has been extensively test knitted to guarantee accuracy and ease of use.
With its unique construction and delightful details, the Berry Cardigan knitting pattern is a wonderful project for knitters of all skill levels. So grab your needles and get ready to create a stunning cardigan that you'll love to wear. Happy knitting!
