Jazz Cardigan / Sweater by Hanne Falkenberg

Short cardigan/sweater in garter stitch / mosaic knitting with a nice fit and beautiful graphic details. The pattern includes both guides to make a cardigan with waist tie and a closed sweater with a complete front side and a taller neck edge.

The cardigan is worked back and forth from sleeve edge to sleeve edge. The pattern is worked in slip stitch following a diagram. You only knit with one color at a time.

The finished cardigan is closed with circular knitted ties which are sewn on to the front pieces in extension of the stripe.

The Mosaic-knitting pattern is worked according to the chart showing which sts to knit, to purl or to slip. This pattern provides a stable texture with no long loose floats on the wrong side. The front opening is held together by I-cords attached to the front parts along the slip-stitch line between basic pattern and garter stitch border.
