Esme McStrippit

Introducing Esme, an elegant A-line, open-front women’s cardigan that brings a delightful twist to your knitting projects. This lovely cardigan is crafted from seven individual pieces, all worked in a simple sweater knitting technique that is perfect for knitters of various skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner looking to hone your skills or an experienced knitter seeking a portable project, Esme is the ideal choice. Its flexible, low round neck design makes it a versatile addition to any wardrobe, while the light and airy construction allows for breathability and comfort.

Esme requires essential knitting techniques such as knitting, purling, increases, decreases, and sewing up at the end. This easy-knit cardigan features straightforward written instructions accompanied by a detailed schematic for seamless construction. The pattern calls for using a double strand of lace-weight yarn or a single strand of Aran yarn that produces a gauge of 17 stitches equals 4 inches (10 cm) after blocking. This makes it an exciting project that you can easily take with you on the go, whether you’re on a commute, enjoying time at a cafe, or relaxing in the park.
