Walled Garden

This pretty cardigan is an easy introduction to stranded colourwork; each pattern motif is only three rows deep and none of the repeats span more than three stitches, so no fiddly weaving is involved and the project grows quickly.

Worked in one piece up to the armholes and then seamed at the shoulders using the three needle cast-off method, the sleeves are picked up and knitted downwards in rows. This construction has been carefully chosen so that the contrast shades can be easily woven in as you go, meaning that literally the only sewing up after the final cast off is the sleeve seams.

Offered in six sizes, the project will use 6 (6: 7: 7: 8: 8) x 50gm skeins of the main shade with 20gm each of five contrast shades.
