Sprout

Are you searching for that stunning handmade cardigan that combines elegance with practicality? Look no further than Sprout—the perfect addition to your wardrobe that seamlessly bridges the gap between style and comfort. This gorgeous cardigan boasts a delightful drape, making it lightweight for summer wear, while also providing the warmth you crave during the winter months. 

Sprout is expertly crafted using both rows and rounds, allowing for intricate details and a flawless finish. The project starts from the bottom-up, featuring a beautiful vertical edge detail that runs gracefully up the sides of the body and around the stylish drop shoulder design. The cardigan's body begins with a twisted rib hem, transitioning into smooth stockinette for a refined look. As you progress, you will skillfully split the cardigan body into three sections, paving the way to form flattering armholes. The shoulders of the cardigan will be seamed for added structure and durability.

To create the sleeves, you'll pick up stitches and work in the round until you reach your desired wrist length, finishing with a chic twisted rib wristband. To complete your masterpiece, you’ll pick up stitches along the entire lapel of the cardigan, working in twisted rib to achieve a polished look. This attention to detail ensures that Sprout looks as if it were made by a professional, while still offering the joy of handmade craftsmanship.

One of the best features of the Sprout cardigan is its customizable length. You can easily modify both the body and sleeves to suit your personal style and fit preferences. Just keep in mind that altering the length may require additional yardage, so be prepared to plan accordingly. Embrace the beauty of handmade fashion with the Sprout cardigan, and elevate your knitting experience today!
