Solene Cardigan
Designed by Moreca knit

The Solene Cardigan is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. It begins with the left and right back sections, which are worked separately. German short rows ensure a good fit for the shoulders. After casting on stitches for the neck, the pieces are joined to work the back as one piece. Next, stitches are picked up to work the left and right fronts separately with increases to form the V-neck. Once all parts are ready, stitches are picked up for the underarms, and the knitting is joined and worked straight back and forth. Stitches are then picked up along the armholes to work the sleeves in the round. After this, stitches are picked up to knit the front edge in double knitting. Finally, the ties are worked in the i-cord technique and then sewn to the front edge.
