Hat Sizes: 14 (15 1/2)“ Circumference

The construction of this cardigan is slightly out of the ordinary! Start by knitting the garter stitch sections (underarms, center back, left front, right front, and the cuffs) which have attached I-cords).

Basic ribbing is anything but basic when you use two different colorways and change “colors” every two rows. And, since you are only working 2 rows of each color each time, there is no need to cut and re-attach yarn with each color change. You can simply carry the yarns up as you go.

Note: To get the “texture” that we have, when the untwisted sections of the yarn are ON THE NEEDLE, purl those stitches. In other words…you will be knitting the untwisted sections onto the needle and then purling them off.

This pattern is designed to use DK weight yarn. Although, the vest pictured is done using 2 strands of fingering/sock weight yarn (a solid and a varigated).
