The cardigan is constructed in separate parts, including the back, sleeves, and fronts, with the front ribbing expertly worked as you go. One of the standout features of the round neck version is the simplicity of picking up stitches along the neckline, making it a seamless process that enhances your crafting experience.
For this project, you'll need double knitting yarn paired with 3.25mm (UK10, US3) and 4mm (UK8, US6) straight knitting needles. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern will challenge your skills while providing satisfaction as each piece comes together.
The number of buttons required varies depending on the version and size of the cardigan you choose to make: for the round neck style, you will need 6 buttons for sizes S, M, and L, and 7 buttons for sizes XL and XXL. In contrast, the v-neck version requires 4 buttons for sizes S, M, and L, and 5 buttons for sizes XL and XXL. This versatility allows you to tailor the cardigan to your personal style.
To enhance your knitting experience, a stitch marker is recommended to remind you to work the ribbed stitches accurately. Additionally, a stitch holder is utilized for the round neck version, ensuring that your project remains organized and manageable.
