SKILLS
To knit this cardigan it is essential to be able to follow charted instructions, you also need to know how to knit and purl, knit flat and in the round, cast on stitches with any method (although the long-tail cast-on is recommended), pick up stitches, make increases with the “make one away” technique (the one most commonly used to cast on stitches at the underarm, also known as the backwards loop method), and be familiar with slipping stitches. Moreover, it is essential to be able to follow charted instructions, as they are used throughout the pattern and written instructions are not provided.

CONSTRUCTION
This cardigan is knit seamlessly top-down. First, the back is knit and stitches are put on hold when the desired length of the armhole has been reached. Then, the front panels are worked either one at a time or simultaneously. Once the neckline depth has been reached, both fronts are joined in one piece, which is knit flat until the underarm. At the underarms, all three pieces are joined to continue knitting the body of the cardigan, which is finished with a bottom ribbing. Next, stitches are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up at the front bands and neckline to finish them with a ribbed hem, including buttonholes if desired.

GAUGE
25 stitches and 50 rows in 10 x 10 cm 4 x 4” in main colourwork pattern, without blocking.
