LONG LOVE

Introducing the LONG LOVE cardigan, an extended version of the beloved Little Love cardigan, perfect for adding a cozy touch to your wardrobe. This versatile sweater pattern is designed for knitters of all skill levels and is worked seamlessly from the top down, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience.

Start by crafting the elegant collar separately. You'll begin by picking up stitches and then casting on additional stitches for the back, skillfully shaping the back neck with short rows. Once the collar is complete, continue to work on the back until you've reached the desired armhole length. Next, pick up stitches for both the front and collar, allowing you to work the two front sections symmetrically, mirroring each side for a polished finish as you reach the armhole length.

Once the back and fronts are joined, you'll work the body of the cardigan in a beautiful stitch pattern down to the bottom ribbing, creating a stunning visual effect. The final step involves picking up the sleeve stitches to knit the sleeves in the round, maintaining the same stitch pattern for a cohesive look.

This LONG LOVE cardigan pattern is not just designed for warmth but also for style, making it a must-have addition to your knitting repertoire. Whether you're looking to make a thoughtful gift or a delightful treat for yourself, this pattern offers the perfect blend of comfort and elegance.
