Fulstow

Fulstow is a playful and whimsical twist on the classic grandad cardigan, designed to bring both joy and warmth to your wardrobe. With its eye-catching garter stripes, elegant i-cord edging, and engaging mosaic colourwork, this delightful knitting project promises to be just as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear!

You’ll embark on this creative journey by working from the top down, skillfully using twisted yarn overs to achieve a unique raglan shape. After completing the yoke, you’ll skillfully place sleeve stitches on waste yarn and continue down the body for a seamless finish. The stunning zigzag feature created by the mosaic knitting adds a charming touch and breaks the monotony of traditional stockinette stitch. Don’t worry—the zigzag isn’t complicated! You’ll only be working with one strand at a time and strategically slipping select stitches to form the captivating pattern.

Once the body of your Fulstow cardigan is complete, you’ll move on to finish those cozy sleeves. Finally, you’ll pick up stitches around the neckline and shape the collar using simple yet effective German short rows. This project is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating a trendy piece that’s sure to make a statement. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Fulstow cardigan is a must-have addition to any knitting enthusiast's collection!
