Notes

The latest project off of my knitting needles is this high-low glittery cardigan. I’ve never used sequins in my knitting, so trying out this Disco Lights yarn from Tilli Tomas was quite awesome! Big thanks to Melinda of Unwound: Unique Yarns and Accessories yarn shop in Blowing Rock, NC, who sponsored this pattern and introduced me to this fabulous yarn!

Oh - and the high-low isn’t referring to the short sleeve vs. long sleeve! Ha ha. My finished cardigan is actually a long sleeved one (well, technically “bracelet length”!), but I wanted to take some photos of the cardigan with a short sleeve, so I can include that option in the finished pattern.

This cardigan also features a mix of textures.

I worked the fronts in Garter stitch, as it is a lovely contrast to the glittery little sequins. The back of the cardigan is mostly Stockinette stitch, with a little nipped in waist detail and a little bit of lace.

I used short rows to shape the back curved hem. And yes, this is a top-down design, so you can play with the sleeve lengths for sure!
