Listening to the Robin's Song
Introducing Listening to the Robin's Song – a beautifully crafted double-breasted cardigan designed for the cozy, stylish knitter. This worsted weight cardigan features a simple yet elegant combination of knits and purls, inspired by my favorite color and a lovely Cat Stevens lyric. The 2-row repeat of the unique Garter Rib stitch pattern generates an overall textured look that offers flattering, slimming vertical lines. A central Garter stitch panel extends gracefully around the neckline, forming a cozy collar that beautifully frames the face.
This versatile cardigan is designed with 6 buttons to provide a snug fit at the waist, allowing you to wear it buttoned up for a polished look or open for a more casual, relaxed style – the choice is entirely yours! Minimal seaming is required on this piece, as it is worked top down with circular sleeves set in seamlessly. This thoughtful construction not only makes knitting easier but also ensures a comfortable fit for all body types.
After finishing, a simple steam treatment gets the job done, meaning that no blocking is necessary if you prefer a quick and easy finish. The Listening to the Robin's Song cardigan is perfect for knitters who appreciate both practicality and style in their handmade garments.
This comprehensive 14-page PDF pattern includes detailed instructions, stunning photographs, precise schematics, stitch descriptions for clarity, and row tracking grids to help you manage short row intervals with ease. Additionally, it offers helpful links to online tutorials for further guidance, along with definitions for relevant abbreviations to make your knitting experience as enjoyable as possible.
