Green is the new green Cardigan
Discover the charm of our open-front edge cardigan, a beautifully designed knitting pattern ideal for knitters of all skill levels. This cardigan is meticulously worked from the bottom up in reversed stockinette stitch, allowing for a cozy yet stylish garment. One of the standout features of this pattern is the textured leaf motif that decorates the front bands, adding a unique touch to your project as you knit through the steps.
The shoulders are thoughtfully shaped using short rows, ensuring a comfortable fit, and then joined seamlessly with a 3-needle bind-off for a professional finish. As you continue to create the front band, it is eventually joined at the center back with a 3-needle bind-off. To achieve a clean and polished look, the back neck can be sewn using the mattress stitch technique, which makes the seams nearly invisible.
To complete this delightful cardigan, you'll pick up stitches for the sleeves and work them in the round. The sleeves end with a stylish twisted rib cuff that adds a refined detail to your finished piece. Whether you're making this cardigan for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, it’s sure to become a cherished wardrobe staple. This open-front edge cardigan pattern, available on pages 1 to 8 in English and pages 9 to 17 in German, is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their knitting skills while creating a versatile and fashionable item.
