Hello Winter Cardigan by yellowcosmo
What is Being Made
Hello Winter is an intermediate-level knitted cardigan designed by Connie Peng of yellowcosmo designs. This garment is available in ten sizes ranging from 33 inches to 53 inches, with one inch of positive ease incorporated into the fit shown in the pattern photos. The cardigan features a classic construction with a button front closure using six 7/8-inch buttons.
Construction Technique
The Hello Winter cardigan employs a hybrid construction method that combines flat and circular knitting techniques. The sweater body is knitted flat from the hem upward to the underarm in a single piece, while the sleeves are worked in the round to the underarm. At the underarm, the body and sleeves are joined together into one continuous piece. This seamless joining is marked with four strategically placed markers that indicate where raglan shaping decreases will occur, with decreases worked one stitch before and one stitch after each marker.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The primary stitch pattern featured in Hello Winter is cable work, specifically referenced as Chart C within the pattern instructions. The cable pattern is central to the garment's visual design and is used to establish the gauge for the project. The pattern uses standard knitting abbreviations and charted instructions for the cable sections.
Yarn and Materials
Yarn: Quince & CO. Lark in worsted weight. The yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from 1300 yards for the smallest size (33 inches) to 1620 yards for the largest size (53 inches). The pattern notes that designers can add additional yarn if a longer length than the standard 13 inches from hem to underarm is desired.
Needles: The pattern calls for US #7 (4.5mm) needles and US #5 (3.75mm) needles. Knitters are encouraged to adjust needle sizes as needed to achieve the correct gauge.
Additional Notions: Six buttons measuring 7/8 inch in diameter and waste yarn for holding stitches during construction.
Gauge and Sizing
The target gauge for Hello Winter is 21 stitches and 25 rows over a 4-inch square when working the cables from Chart C using the larger US #7 needles. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished measurements across all ten available sizes.
