Golden bread cardigan

This unique cardigan design utilizes the innovative contiguous method for shaping set-in sleeves, originally developed by renowned designer Suzie M. Perfect for knitters of various skill levels, this cardigan features a special construction technique that adds both style and ease to your knitting experience.

The process begins with a provisional cast on to knit half of the sweater, which comprises half the back, a shoulder, and half the front. This section will be knitted twice to ensure a perfect fit. The cardigan showcases a stunning lace neckline finished with an I-cord, eliminating the need to pick up stitches for a polished finish. Once you achieve the desired neckline length, you will join the sections to knit the cardigan in one continuous piece.

After joining, you will separate the body and sleeves, allowing you to focus on completing the body until its desired length. An exquisite lace band runs along the front, creating a beautiful and continuous design that draws the eye upward. Additionally, there are two diagonal lace bands strategically placed on the back for an elegant touch. The cardigan is completed with a refined I-cord finish that enhances its overall aesthetic.

The sleeves are knitted in the round, providing a seamless finish, and each sleeve features a delicate lace band at the top, harmonizing with the overall design. This cardigan pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a sophisticated garment that is both stylish and functional.

Whether you are knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this cardigan pattern is a must-have addition to your wardrobe collection. Start your knitting journey today with this beautifully crafted cardigan pattern, and experience the joy of creating your own stylish knitwear!
