This pattern is expertly worked from the bottom up, providing a straightforward approach for knitters at various skill levels. The body of the cardigan is fully written out, while the intricate cable motifs are conveniently charted for visual clarity. For the sleeves, you’ll find a combination of both written instructions and charts for the cable motif, ensuring every stitch is perfectly crafted, with all remaining stitches in stockinette stitch (St st) for a smooth finish.
To begin, stitches are cast on for the body, followed by a lovely ribbing section, after which you’ll dive into the eye-catching cable motif. Work until you reach your desired length for an ideal fit. Each sleeve is worked in the round, starting with a ribbed cuff and then transitioning to the Sleeve Cable motif, incorporating increases as you go until you achieve your preferred length. After perfecting the sleeves, the underarm stitches from both the body and sleeves are placed on holders to seamlessly join them for the Raglan shaping decreases.
Additionally, the neck shaping is crafted for added elegance, concluding with a cozy collar that enhances the overall design. Finally, you will pick up stitches for the button bands, adding a practical yet stylish finishing touch to your new favorite cardigan.
