The Limelight Cardigan is a cozy, open front knit sweater created using the brioche stitch. This knit cardigan is soft and squishy because of the brioche stitch, making it wonderfully comfy to wear. The brioche stitch creates a very stretchy knit perfect for a garment. This pattern is worked flat, in five pieces. To create this cardigan, you will need US size 8 knitting needles. This pattern is meant for an intermediate knitter. Knit a test swatch to practice the rhythm of the brioche stitch before diving into the cardigan. You should also be comfortable with rib stitches, picking up stitches, increases, decreases, and seaming together knit pieces.
