Palmire

Introducing the Palmire Cardigan, an airy and stylish knitting pattern that combines elegance with a fun and unique construction method. This lightweight cardigan features a delicate lace panel adorning both the back and fronts, making it a perfect addition to your wardrobe for any season. The innovative design begins with the intricate back lace panel, which is cleverly split at the neck to form two separate lace panels for the right and left front.

After completing the lace sections, stitches are expertly picked up along each side to knit the body of the cardigan sideways. This sideways construction not only enhances the overall design but also provides a modern twist on traditional cardigan styles. Once you achieve the desired width for the body, you will close the sides using a three-needle bind-off technique, ensuring a secure and polished finish. The final touch includes knitting the sleeve stitches in the round, culminating in a beautifully folded cuff that adds a refined touch to the overall look.

This pattern is designed for knitters of varying experience levels and includes both charted instructions for the lace design and step-by-step photographs. These visuals will help you understand the construction better and make your knitting experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, the Palmire Cardigan is an excellent project to showcase your skills.

The Palmire Cardigan pattern is available in both English and French (starting from page 22), catering to a diverse range of knitters from around the world. Embrace the art of knitting with this stunning cardigan pattern, and create a beautiful piece that you will cherish for years to come.
