Craft: Knitting

In 8 sizes and 2 sleeve lengths!

A timeless little hip-length cardi always manages to look modern. Ours has classic details: a pretty jewel neckline, knit-along button bands, full- or bracelet-length sleeves—all of which are clearly and expertly described in written instructions and quick guides. You’ll even be able to build (or review) your skills with a special technique: ‘clip & turn’ short row shaping.

We chose two superb fibers for this ultimate cardi. A sleek yarn offers tailored style. Light-weight mohair, like our favorite Rowan Kidsilk Haze, lends a feminine aura. With this choice of yarn, in eight sizes and with two sleeve lengths, you can make your cardigan just right for you.

This 8 page pattern includes:

Color photographs by the talented Jared Flood.

A Special Technique—‘clip & turn’ short row shaping.

Step-by-step guides for adjusting body & sleeve lengths, with fill-in-the-blank sections to help with the math.

A wee tutorial on placing buttonholes.
