Gramps revive

Gramps Revive is a beautifully designed cardigan that is crafted seamlessly from the top down, making it a perfect knitting project for those looking to create stylish and comfortable outerwear. This pattern begins with increases along the shoulders on both the right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) until the final shoulder width is achieved. Simultaneously, the V-neck shaping takes place, allowing for a flattering neckline. As you work the back and front pieces separately to the underarm length, the cardigan structure starts to take shape.

Upon reaching the underarm, you will join the fronts and back to knit the body in one continuous piece, flowing down to the split hem where two contrasting color blocks are introduced, adding a unique touch to your cardigan. To finish the look, stitches are picked up around the front opening and neckline to create a button band, lending functionality and style to this modern vest. After completing the button band, consider blocking the cardigan to see if you prefer to add sleeves or not. If you decide to go for sleeves, simply pick up stitches around the armholes and knit the sleeves top down in the round, ensuring they taper to a snug fit at the cuffs. Keep in mind that this cardigan is designed with ample ease, so crafting the sleeves to a tighter fit will balance the overall silhouette.
