Feng huang & Qilin

This is a pattern for a cardigan/jacket worked from the bottom up in the round and with a dropped sleeve and wide cuffs/button bands/collar (worn flat or folded). The cardigan is work using the stranded colourwork technique and has multiple steeks. The sleeves are worked from the top down to cuff.

This project uses large charts, experience and comfort working with large charts is helpful. Since there are longer floats over some colourwork sections, you may want to use the Ladder-back/Invisible Jacquard technique included. In addition, there is a small steeking tutorial, with link to video.

Charts are shown in colours similar to the sample.

This pattern is intended for experienced knitters who are familiar with reading complex charts and extending patterning.

If you choose to work the back with ONLY the flower motif, these charts are also included.
