We always recommend purchasing complete balls and buying a little extra to account for personal gauge variations, swatching, or adjustments to length.
Crucial Swatching Tip:
Always wash and block your gauge swatch before beginning. Taking the time to verify you achieve 24 stitches and 34 rows per 10 cm ensures that your cardigan matches the pattern's intended sizing and that you love the drape of your final fabric. Adjust your needle size up or down if necessary to match the gauge.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Are the cardiganβs front bands knitted on later?
No. One of the best features of this design is that the ribbed front edges are worked concurrently with the yoke and the body. There is no tedious picking up of stitches for button bands later! - Is there any seaming involved?
None at all. The body is knit flat in one piece from the top down, and the sleeves are knit seamlessly in the round using double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. Finishing is strictly limited to weaving in your yarn tails and sewing on your buttons.
