Product Details
This cardigan is knitted in the round, with only a few rows at the shoulders. Although steeked, unusually the armhole is shaped and the sleeves are fitted and set in. Steeking allows you to knit garments in the round without interruption for the front opening or sleeves. In this pattern the sleeves are joined in at the armhole, and the whole thing is then worked rather like a Raglan until the sleeves are finished and then the rest of the armhole is completed with a new steek. Finally, the front edge is enclosed and a lace trim added.
Neither stitch pattern presents a particular technical challenge but the finishing is a little different. This design does require a knowledge of working with steeks and would probably appeal to the more experienced knitter. The waist is shaped but if you prefer to have more room in this area, cast on the sts given for the waist plus an extra 28sts (two repeats of Chart A), then work straight apart from Front shaping, ignoring side shaping instructions.
