Welcome to our easy-fitting waterfall-front cardigan knitting pattern, featuring stunning pueblo stripes and a chic knit-in fringe design. This stylish cardigan is perfect for various occasions—whether you're enjoying a cozy evening in the desert, taking a breezy boat ride, or sipping your favorite drink at a trendy urban café.
**Construction Details:** The cardigan is worked flat from the bottom to the underarms, with the charming fringe knit directly into the design. The sleeve caps are seamlessly integrated with the upper sweater until they are bound off, allowing for a smooth transition. After that, the upper sweater pieces—the back and two fronts—are crafted separately to create short-row-shaped shoulders. The elegant collar is designed as a continuation from the center back and fronts, ensuring a polished finish. Lastly, the sleeves are knitted in the round, using a provisional cast-on technique starting at the underarms and working downwards to the wrists.
**Fit and Style:** This cardigan is intended to have a loose, relaxed fit with slightly dropped shoulders, enhancing its comfortable appeal while still looking effortlessly chic.
**Techniques You’ll Master:** This pattern will guide you through various knitting techniques, including splicing colors, joining colors in the round, executing short rows, and mastering the 3-needle bind-off. Perfect for knitters looking to expand their skills!
**What’s Included in the Pattern:** The pattern comes complete with detailed written instructions, helpful schematics, and a comprehensive glossary to assist you as you knit. Each step is clearly outlined to ensure your success in creating this lovely cardigan.
