Wessex Cardigan

Introducing the Wessex Cardigan, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern featuring a stunning four-color stripe design. This stylish cardigan boasts a fitted shape and flattering V-neck, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe. The body of the Wessex Cardigan is skillfully worked flat in one seamless piece from the bottom up, ensuring a clean and polished finish. The solid color sleeves are expertly constructed; stitches are picked up around the armhole and knitted using short rows to create a smooth sleeve cap, before transitioning to working in the round down to the wrist. To add a touch of flair, a small section of stripes is incorporated at the sleeve cuffs, enhancing the overall aesthetic of this versatile piece. Designed for an elegant fit, this cardigan is intended to be worn with little or no positive ease in the bust, providing a sleek silhouette.

To successfully complete the Wessex Cardigan, certain skills are required, including tubular cast on, three-needle bind off, RLI (right lifted increase), LLI (left lifted increase), k2tog, ssk, p2tog, ssp, short rows, picking up stitches, and working in the round. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or looking to improve your skills, this pattern offers an enjoyable and rewarding project that you can be proud of. Elevate your knitting repertoire with the Wessex Cardigan and impress your friends and family with this chic, handmade garment!
