CONSTRUCTION: This cardigan is crafted with care, starting with the back, fronts, and sleeves knitted separately from the bottom up to the armholes, then skillfully joined for a seamless appearance. The armholes and sleeve caps are shaped together using strategic decreases for a flattering fit. The sleeve caps are then bound off, after which the fronts and back are worked separately to define the shoulders and back neck. Short rows shape the shoulders, which are joined through a 3-needle bind-off before being seamed to the tops of the sleeves for added structure. The elegant collar band is knitted alongside the fronts, seamlessly connecting at the center back and meticulously sewn to the back neck. Finally, the sleeves and sides are seamed to complete this lovely cardigan.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this cardigan pattern offers a rewarding project to enhance your spring collection. Get your needles ready!
