Cable and Rib Cardigan 129

This stunning stitch pattern presents a unique variation I discovered in one of my cherished stitch books. I am particularly fond of how the textured purl ridges beautifully intersect with intricate cables and structured ribs, creating a harmonious flow that captivates the eye. The purl ridges are artfully integrated once again in the collar and button bands, effectively bringing together all elements of the design. The collar frames the deep V-neck elegantly, adding a touch of sophistication to this versatile cardigan. This knitting pattern offers a delightful choice between a cropped length, as illustrated, or a more traditional standard length for those who prefer a different fit. The construction of the cardigan is designed for ease, being worked as one continuous piece from the bottom up until the armholes. After reaching this point, the fronts and back are crafted separately up to the shoulder seams, ensuring a tailored fit. The sleeves are designed to be worked flat from the bottom up, then sewn in for a polished finish. The collar is also knitted separately, allowing for a clean attachment to the neck edge that enhances the overall look. To accommodate all levels of knitters, the cable pattern is provided in both written and charted formats, making it accessible for anyone looking to create this beautiful piece. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner eager to expand your skills, this cardigan pattern is sure to inspire creativity and add a stylish garment to your wardrobe.
