Carnival Cardigan

Introducing the vibrant and stylish three-color Carnival Cardigan—a contemporary twist on a timeless knitwear staple. This eye-catching cardigan features beautifully crafted seed stitch accents that elegantly outline a simple four-row knit/purl texture stitch. Perfect for knitters seeking to elevate their wardrobe, the Carnival Cardigan is not only a fashion statement but also a delightful knitting experience.

With its clever design, the Carnival Cardigan employs a unique technique where only one color is used per row, eliminating the hassle of horizontal carries or the time-consuming task of weaving in ends. This straightforward approach creates an illusion of intricate color work, making it an ideal choice for knitters of all skill levels who want to explore color combinations without added complexity.

This cardigan is skillfully constructed from the bottom up and seamed for a polished finish; there's no need to fuss over setting in the sleeves, as they are effortlessly picked up and knitted from the shoulder down to the cuff. The button bands and neck are also thoughtfully picked up and worked in the same charming seed stitch, providing a cohesive look. To complete your design, you'll need five 7/8" buttons for the button band, which can be chosen to complement your color palette.

The Carnival Cardigan comes together quickly using three luxurious colors of Wool of the Andes Bulky yarn, allowing you to craft a beautifully cozy garment in no time. For those who prefer a classic vibe, consider knitting the cardigan in a single solid color for a more traditional and sophisticated appearance. Whether you’re a novice knitter ready to tackle your first cardigan or an experienced artisan looking for an enjoyable project, the Carnival Cardigan is sure to become a beloved addition to your knitwear collection.
