PATTERN RELEASE AUGUST 8, 2024.
Driftwood - A Spinster’s Daughter Collection

The cardigan is worked in an allover mosaic stitch. The fronts back and sleeves feature a motif based on a traditional quilt block. The cardigan is named after my Grandma Paulie who was a quilter and the inspiration for this pattern.

The mosaic knitting technique uses only 1 yarn in each row with slipped stitches to create the pattern. You alternate 2 MC rows with 2 CC rows throughout. The motif pattern is charted, there are three versions of the chart, one for sizes 1 & 2, one for sizes 3, 4, 5 & 6 and one for sizes 7 & 8.

The Sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up. The Body is worked in one piece from the bottom up. The Body and sleeves are joined at the underarm and the yoke is worked seamlessly with V-neck and raglan shaping.
