Soyokaze
Soyokaze - meaning breeze - is a beautifully designed long A-line cardigan that features a delicate feminine lace pattern gracing its entire lower body. This stunning piece is crafted from the top down seamlessly, utilizing two strands of yarn held together for a luxurious texture. The process begins with the collar, which is knitted first in an irregular ribbing style complemented by a slipped stitch edge (SSE) for added detail. After completing the collar, you will pick up stitches along the collar edge to form the yoke, ensuring a seamless transition into the body of the cardigan. The front and back are then joined elegantly at the underarm, with sleeve stitches set aside for later, allowing for a smooth and uninterrupted knit. The lower body is knit in one continuous piece down to the hem, showcasing the intricate Soyokaze lace pattern that beautifully expands in width and length as you progress, creating a flowy silhouette. The sleeves are expertly crafted top down in the round, giving you complete control over the fit and length. As you work on the Soyokaze cardigan, be mindful not to pull the yarn too tightly when executing the slipped stitch edge (SSE), as this will ensure a polished finish and proper drape. This versatile cardigan is perfect for layering, making it a great addition to your wardrobe for any season. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, the Soyokaze pattern offers an enjoyable and rewarding knitting experience.
