Blithe & Lightsome cardi

With its simple, playful shapes and vibrant colors, the Blithe & Lightsome cardigan is your perfect companion for adding a cheerful touch to any outfit! This exclusive knitting pattern guides you through creating a stunning top-down circular yoke cardigan featuring a flattering scoop neckline. Whether you opt for the standard design or follow the included instruction notes for a closer-fitted neckline, you’ll love the versatility and comfort of this piece.

To begin, stitches are cast on to form the ribbed neckline, followed by the execution of short rows to provide elegant neck shaping. The unique yoke chart is designed for your chosen size, making it easy to customize as you go. Once the yoke is complete, sleeve stitches are separated from the body stitches, and underarm stitches are either cast on or picked up, allowing each component to be worked separately until reaching the stylish ribbed edge before binding off.

Since this pattern is crafted using a top-down technique, adjusting the sizes for an optimal fit is a breeze! If you require additional room in the body or over the upper arms, simply cast on or pick up extra stitches following the yoke. Conversely, for those with smaller arms, feel free to skip the final increase over the yoke chart to create a more tailored look.

Embrace your creativity and express your unique style with the Blithe & Lightsome cardigan, perfect for knitters of all levels. Download this free pattern today and discover the joy of creating a vibrant and personalized cardigan that will brighten up your wardrobe!
