Second Breakfast

Inspired by the enchanting way of life of Hobbits, this cozy cardigan is the perfect addition to any wardrobe. With its stunning shawl collar, textured pockets, and charming faux elbow patches, this cardigan embodies warmth and style. Additionally, a delightful baby/child version of this design, named Elevenses, is also available in my store, making it perfect for families who love matching outfits.

This cardigan is expertly crafted from the top down, allowing for a seamless and enjoyable knitting experience. It features unique knit-in pockets for added practicality, while the sleeves are seamlessly separated from the body at the underarm level. The body is worked flat, while the sleeves are done in the round for a smooth finish, showcasing delightful “faux” elbow patches that add a touch of whimsy. To complete the design, stitches are picked up along the fronts and neckline to create the elegant shawl collar and button bands in one continuous piece, expertly utilizing German short rows (with a helpful link to a video tutorial included in the pattern). Do keep in mind that the pocket linings will require some simple seaming for a polished look.

SKILLS REQUIRED:

This knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters and requires skills such as casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, knitting in the round, picking up stitches, and working short rows. Detailed explanations along with a video tutorial link are provided to assist you throughout the process, ensuring even novice knitters can tackle this project. Finally, binding off rounds off your creation, leaving you with a cardigan that is not only comfortable but also stylish and perfect for any occasion.

Embrace your love for knitting with this Hobbit-inspired cardigan pattern, and bring a touch of cozy charm to your wardrobe. Happy knitting!
