Woven in straw

This nearly seamless cardigan pattern is designed for knitters looking to create a stylish piece that combines comfort and elegance. The construction begins at the bottom and moves upward to the underarm, where you will join the sleeves. From there, the yoke is crafted in a classic raglan shape, gracefully tapering to the neck. Although the original yarn has been discontinued, you can easily substitute it with any high-quality worsted yarn to achieve the desired look and feel.

Before you dive in, please note that this pattern includes a significant number of charts, with nearly every size featuring its own unique chart. This makes the pattern suitable for intermediate to advanced knitters who are comfortable reading charts and following complex instructions. The skills required for this project include:

• Seamless construction techniques for a polished finish
• Short rows to shape the garment beautifully
• Working sleeves in the round, utilizing either double-pointed needles (DPN) or the magic loop method for flexibility
• Kitchener stitch for an invisible seam that enhances the cardigan's overall appearance

Embrace the challenge of this sophisticated cardigan pattern, and enjoy the process of knitting a piece you'll cherish for years to come. With the right yarn and some patience, you’ll be able to create a stunning addition to your wardrobe that showcases your knitting skills.
