Mixed Media
Discover the beauty of craftsmanship with our Mixed Media Cardigan knitting pattern, where two ribs beautifully come together for a stylish and artistic design. This stunning cardigan features long sleeves and deeply scalloped front edges, making it a perfect addition to your knitting repertoire. Not only is it visually appealing, but it is also designed for comfort and versatility.
The Mixed Media Cardigan is ingeniously knit from side to side in one continuous piece. The unique construction incorporates short rows and decreases to shape the sleeve caps, ensuring a flattering fit. You will pick up and knit the sleeves and collar, while the only seams required are along the shoulders and down the inside of the sleeves, simplifying the assembly process and allowing you to focus on your knitting joy.
This pattern is available in a wide range of sizes: XS (S, S/M, M, M/L, L, XL, XXL), recommended for chest sizes 31-33 (33-35, 35-37, 37-39, 39-43, 43-47, 47-51, 51-55)". Back measurements (underarm to underarm) are 15½ (16½, 17½, 18½, 19½, 21½, 23½, 25½)". The model is showcased in size S/M, with a chest size of 36", making it a fantastic fit for various body types and wardrobes.
To achieve the perfect fit, we recommend a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows = 4” in k1-p1 rib, which should be measured from the inside of a large washed and dried swatch for accurate sizing. Achieving the right gauge is crucial to ensure your cardigan fits beautifully and is comfortable to wear.
The techniques you'll learn and use throughout this project include provisional cast on, pick up and knit, sewn bind off (optional), and short rows. For those who are new to short rows, you can refer to the popular wrapless short row method that I devised in 2009.

This exquisite pattern includes detailed written instructions, stitch patterns available in both written and charted formats, a schematic for visual guidance, and a glossary of terms to assist you throughout your knitting journey. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, the Mixed Media Cardigan knitting pattern is an excellent choice for your next project. Embrace the art of knitting and create a stunning cardigan that will be cherished for years to come!
