Make It

This project was made from an independent Craftsy designer's pattern:
Gardening Cardigan »

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Traditional, Casual, Romantic


Materials

Zitron Ecco, 100% Merino, 111m/50g, 4.0mm (US size 6) needles, cable needle, zipper

What was your inspiration?

My initial idea had been for a fitted cardigan with leaves and cables forming the curves, increases and decreases. After a lot of swatching I actually settled on braids instead of leaves as they matched my first sketches the best.

What are you most proud of?

I love how the cables flow around the curves. It's both very flattering and comfy. And I'm really proud because this has been a challenge to calculate and grade ;)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

As this is knit in one piece from the bottom up you can easily check on the fit while knitting.
