Knitting Pattern: Geek Chic Cardigan

Geek Chic Cardigan is a stylish and modern piece that is knit in one seamless piece from the top down. This unique cardigan features a stylish raglan yoke, allowing for a comfortable fit while you work the main body flat. Both sleeves are knitted in the round for a cohesive finish. To complete the look, you’ll create applied button bands and a collar in one continuous piece, all worked sideways. The main fabric boasts an all-over rib-based texture, which is a modification of the beautiful bamboo stitch, while the trimmings are crafted in a classic 1x1 rib for added contrast and sophistication.

This comprehensive tutorial guides you through every step of the process, ensuring you feel confident as you knit. Included are detailed written instructions, optional charts for visual guidance, and an array of photo and video tutorials to enhance your learning experience.
