Onwards and upwards cardigan

The weather may be grey but this garment is designed to give your mood a boost; it’s a glass half full type of knit. All the cable motifs have been specially designed to reach optomistically for the sky, twining onwards and upwards!

Construction The body of the cardigan is knit seamlessly flat in one piece. Sleeves are knit in the round and joined to the body as live stitches.Underarm stitches are grafted together. Front bands are picked up and knit on.

Skills include: cables, twisted stitches, slipped stitches, picking up stitches, grafting , reducing in pattern, circular knitting. Very small amount of maths to calculate your own button hole spacing.

Choose a size within approx 2 inches of your actual chest size for a similar fit. Although the ribbing at the bottom will give some extra ease over the first few inches, the cardigan is straight from hip to chest.
