Product Description
The Malibu Cardigan is a top-down seamless cardigan knitted in DK weight yarn. First, you will knit the back panel until you reach the length of the underarm when you’ll put these stitches on hold. You’ll then pick up stitches for the front panels and knit these to the same length. You’ll then join these panels in the round, whilst adding some additional underarm stitches and knit to your desired length. You’ll then pick up stitches for the arms which are knit with gradual tapered decreases. Finally, you’ll pick up stitches along the front panels and neck and knit the front collar band in 1x1 rib. The cardigan is designed to be worn open and therefore, buttons are an optional extra.
