Mallorn Cardigan

The Mallorn cardigan is a circular yoke worked seamlessly from top down. The neck is worked first, then several series of short rows are used to create a comfortable and beautifully shaped finish.

The yoke is shaped with increases evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the body.

Sleeves are then placed on hold and the body is worked towards the hem. The sleeve stitches are then put back on the needles and worked in the round towards the cuffs.

The cardigan has a relaxed fit as it is knitted from the top down, the length is easy to adjust.

The cardigan is steeked. The front steek is not cut open until after the body and sleeves are completed to allow the cardigan to be held together neatly during the knitting of the latter. The garment should be tried on before cutting to ensure a good fit.

The colorwork requires a bit of attention and previous experience in stranded knitting as you will be working 3 colors at a time and catching long floats in some rounds.
