Carousel

Introducing the stunning Carousel Cardigan – a lightly shaped cardigan featuring a wide and elegantly dipping neckline. This stylish piece is designed as a top-down knit, expertly crafted in high-quality fingering weight yarn. The cardigan showcases an exquisite overall texture created with the Mock English Rib stitch, which consists of a simple knit/purl repeat. To enhance its aesthetic appeal, the hems and edges are elegantly bordered with a classic 1x1 ribbing. The cardigan also features slim sleeves, which are knitted top down in the round and seamlessly set in for a polished finish.

For this project, I opted to use two different yarns purely for their beautiful color combinations; rest assured, their gauges are identical, allowing you the creative freedom to mix and match as you see fit! Whether you're looking to make a statement with a bold color palette or prefer a more subtle effect, this cardigan provides the versatility to suit your style.

Skills Required: This pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters and requires skills in Long-tail cast on, Cable cast on, a variety of decreases (including ssk, k2tog, p2tog, p2tog tbl), and increases (such as m1R, m1L, yo). Additional techniques include short row shaping, picking up stitches, circular knitting, successfully setting in sleeves, and blocking for final finishing touches.

Included in the comprehensive 12-page PDF are detailed pattern instructions, high-quality photographs for visual guidance, precise schematics, tutorial links for additional support, and definitions for all relevant abbreviations to ensure you have everything you need for a successful knitting experience.
