Braces cardigan

Discover the joy of knitting with this beautifully designed cardigan, expertly crafted from the top down in a seamless technique. This pattern guides you through each step, starting with the creation of the cardigan's upper portion by making strategic increases on each side of the raglan. Once you’ve shaped the yoke, you’ll separate the body and sleeves, allowing for a fun and relaxing knitting experience. The body is then knitted back and forth, where you will incorporate an eye-catching stranded pattern at the bottom, finishing the look with a stylish ribbed hem. The sleeves are knitted in the round, designed to match the body with a stranded pattern at the cuff, concluding with a cozy rib finish for a polished look. In the final steps, you will pick up stitches diligently around the entire cardigan to create a beautifully finished button band and ribbed neckline. This cardigan is not only a practical addition to your wardrobe but also a fantastic way to enhance your knitting skills.
