Kanti Mama

Discover the enchanting Kanti Mama knitting pattern, which begins with a provisional cast-on at the center of the back collar, allowing for a seamless and elegant construction. The pattern guides you through creating the left back collar first, followed by casting on the left shoulder stitches. From there, you’ll knit the left front section from the top down to the underarm, before placing it on a holder for later use. Next, the right back collar stitches are skillfully picked up from the provisional cast-on edge and knitted up to the shoulder for a beautiful finish.

After completing the right back collar, the right shoulder stitches are cast on, and the right front is carefully knitted from the top down to the underarm, mirroring the left side for symmetry. The back shoulder stitches are then picked up from both the front shoulder and collar edges, seamlessly transitioning into the knitted fabric as you work down to the underarm. At this point, the back and front pieces are effortlessly joined at the underarm, allowing you to continue knitting the body in one continuous piece down to the hem.

To complete your Kanti Mama garment, sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes, ensuring a polished look. The sleeves feature beautifully shaped caps created with short-rows, and you’ll have the option to knit the sleeves either as chic cap sleeves (as illustrated) or as elegant long sleeves, depending on your style preference. This pattern is perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters looking to add a unique and stylish piece to their wardrobe.

With detailed instructions and easy-to-follow steps, the Kanti Mama pattern is a fantastic addition to your collection. Get ready to impress your friends and family with your skills as you create this stunning garment!
