Carly Cardigan

The Carly Cardigan is an elegant knitted design that begins at the back, crafted from the top down to the base of the armholes. This unique construction method allows for a seamless and flattering fit. After completing the back, both front pieces are skillfully picked up and knitted separately until reaching the armhole. Once the fronts are finished, you'll join the front and back sections and continue knitting flat down to the stylish hem. To complete the look, pick up and knit for the sleeves, providing a polished finish to this versatile cardigan.

For the best results, pay close attention to the gauge: when using a 6 mm (US 10) needle, you should achieve a gauge of 15 stitches by 20 rows, which measures 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in stockinette stitch after blocking. If you're incorporating cables, aim for a gauge of 19 stitches by 20 rows for the same 10 x 10 cm size after blocking. This will ensure that your Carly Cardigan fits perfectly and showcases the intricate designs beautifully.

This pattern is suitable for knitters of various skill levels, whether you're a beginner wanting to tackle new techniques or an experienced knitter looking for an enjoyable project. The Carly Cardigan is not only functional but also a trendy addition to your wardrobe—perfect for layering during those chilly days.
