EVIAN CARDIGAN - P213
Discover a fantastic introduction to top-down knitting with our expertly crafted cardigan pattern, ideal for confident beginner knitters eager to elevate their knitting skills. This straightforward pattern is fully written out, making it easy to follow. It features a beautiful moss stitch texture that runs from top to bottom on the front panel, while the rest of the cardigan is knitted in smooth stocking stitch. To add a finished touch, a moss stitch band encircles the bottom hem of the cardigan, enhancing its visual appeal. The raglan sleeves are designed with a delicate lacy texture, adding an elegant flair to your cozy garment.
This versatile cardigan pattern can be knitted using straight needles if you're not yet comfortable with circular knitting. For the sleeves, you have the flexibility to choose between knitting them flat on straight needles or opting for double-pointed needles, which allows for seamless circular knitting without any need for seaming. Each sleeve version caters to different skill levels and preferences: one is knitted flat, while the other is worked in the round for a more streamlined approach.
Our recommended yarn for this project is Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK in the charming colour Ballet Pink (243), with a yardage of 125m per 50 gram ball. Alternatively, the featured garment is made using Bellissimo ‘Lucca’ in Colour Pearl, offering 120m or 131 yards per 50 gram ball. Feel free to choose any yarn that achieves the same tension for the best results.
