One of a Kind Cardigan

When I’m designing a cardigan, I consider every little detail. Some of the options are simply a matter of personal preference and taste. For this cardigan, I decided to leave some of those details to the knitter! I walk you through choosing ribbing, cables, and even color treatment. The only limit is your imagination.

Details: Cardigan is knit from the hem up with drop shoulder shaping. The body is worked straight with no shaping. The back has 2 cable panels, you can use the same ones as the front or choose 2 different ones! Sleeves, fronts and pockets are knit after the body is finished.

Finished Size: 32 (36, 40, 44, 48) [52, 56, 60, 64]“ bust/chest circumference.

Yarn: DK weight/light worsted or Fingering held double

(based on using 1 color) 1000 (1150, 1275, 1400, 1515) [1690, 1860, 2050, 2174]

Needles: Size 7 (4.5 mm) 24”-60”/60-152cm circular (cir) depending on chest size and needles in preferred size for small circumference knitting in the round. Adjust needle sizes if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
