Rosi
Introducing Rosi: The Essential V-Neck Cardigan Knitting Pattern
Rosi is a beautifully designed basic V-neck cardigan that combines style and comfort, making it a perfect addition to your wardrobe. This versatile cardigan is primarily worked in Stockinette Stitch, featuring elegant ribbed panels at the back, shoulders, and sleeves for added texture and dimension. A single button closure allows you to wear the cardigan fastened, adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
The Rosi cardigan is crafted from the top down in one continuous piece, ensuring a seamless look and feel. After completing the shoulder section, the upper body is worked in one piece until reaching the desired armhole depth. Following this, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the lower body is shaped with a slight A-Line design for a flattering silhouette. The long sleeves are knit in the round, enhancing the overall fit and comfort of the garment. Notably, the front bands are integrated and worked simultaneously with the body, streamlining the knitting process.
Gauge: 26 stitches x 38 rows in Stockinette Stitch = 10 cm/4”
Finished Chest Measurements: Available in sizes 90-96-101-105-111-115-121-126-130-136-142 cm (35.5-37.75-39.75-41.25-43.75-45.25-47.75-49.5-51.25-53.5-56”). This cardigan features positive ease at the chest of approximately 8-10 cm (3.25-4”), providing a comfortable fit that allows for layering.
Yarn details: The sample is expertly knitted using Marianthi Yarns “Pure Merino Fingering,” which boasts an impressive yardage of 400 m (437 yds) per 100 g. This high-quality yarn ensures that the final piece is both soft against the skin and durable.
