Bitterroot Cardigan

What could be more timeless and classic than a beautifully cabled V-neck cardigan? Say hello to the Bitterroot Cardigan, the perfect addition to your cool weather wardrobe. Whether you're embarking on outdoor adventures or simply lounging at home on those chilly winter days, this cardigan will keep you cozy and stylish. Crafted using Green Mountain Spinnery’s highly anticipated new yarn, Cozy Cotton, this delightful pattern will debut in April 2024, ensuring you have the latest in knitting trends.

This stunning cardigan is designed to be worked in one seamless piece from the bottom up. You'll start with an engaging k2, p2 rib that flows elegantly into intricate cables, complemented by twist stitches and eye-catching moss stitch panels. As you approach the armholes, it’s time to begin the neck shaping for that perfect fit. Once you’ve divided for the armholes, the fronts and back are worked separately up to the shoulders, which are skillfully shaped using German Short-rows for a refined finish. The shoulders are then effortlessly joined together using the Three-Needle Bind-Off technique, providing both strength and elegance to your garment.

The sleeves are designed with folded-up cuffs and are knitted in the round from the cuff up, featuring a stunning cable panel centered on each sleeve. Each side of the cable is beautifully adorned with moss stitch for added texture and charm, making this cardigan not only functional but also a visual delight.

To complete this stylish piece, a single-layer shawl collar is elegantly added, incorporating short-rows for a seamless and sophisticated shape. Finally, enhance your Bitterroot Cardigan with tailored front bands and One-Row Button-Holes, ensuring that every detail is refined and ready for showcasing. This cardigan pattern is perfect for knitters who appreciate the art of cables and intricate stitch details. Get ready to elevate your knitting skills and create a wardrobe staple that you will wear for years to come!
