BlueSand Cardigan
Discover the unique crafting experience with the BlueSand knitting pattern, offering you the exciting choice between two distinct yoke constructions, conveniently available for download in separate PDF files. Whether you’re a knitting novice or a seasoned expert, these patterns cater to all skill levels and will enhance your collection.
Note: At this time, only the raglan version is available on LoveKnitting, providing an excellent opportunity for those eager to get started.
Explore the innovative combination yoke version, which showcases a fresh approach to yoke construction by blending various techniques to create a beautifully soft and sloping shoulder line. This design offers a unique twist that sets it apart from traditional patterns. On the other hand, the raglan version features a simplified yoke construction that serves as a hybrid design, seamlessly combining elements of a saddle shoulder with classic raglan sleeves, making it an ideal choice for knitters seeking a straightforward yet stylish option.
Both yoke versions follow nearly identical instructions for the remainder of the garment, ensuring a cohesive crafting experience. The cardigan is designed with a longer back, finished with a rounded and generously sized hem. Additionally, the pattern includes engaging elements like a playful mix of colors and textures, plus delightful pocket linings that add a touch of charm and functionality.
The sample yarn used in this pattern is 100% cotton, ideal for its durability and softness. However, you can easily substitute it with any DK weight yarn of your choice, ensuring that you achieve a similar aesthetic effect, especially in the beautifully textured portions of the sleeves and hem.
Each version of the BlueSand pattern is equipped with both charted and written instructions to cater to different learning styles. For added clarity, a “quick overview” chart of the entire yoke is included, which you can print out. This valuable visual aid will help you keep track of your progress and ensure that you follow the written instructions accurately according to your size, making the crafting process as smooth as possible.
