Recently, i have been looking for a knitted cardigan that will go with almost everything in my wardrobe. I thought carefully from the fit down to the color and that is how i landed at the “February Knitted Cardigan”. I love it so much i will be remaking it in the future and i hope it can be your new favorite too!

YARN
The yarn i use was a gingering weight yarn that i folded to make a worsted weight yarn. I cannot recommend the yarn as it may not be everyone’s choice, i used it because it was what i could access easily.

I recommend you purchase any worsted weight yarn of your choice. Be sure you have experience with the yarn, or make a gauge swatch then block it to see how the yarn behaves after blocked.

KNITTING CABLES
You will need 2 knitting cables for this. Or just one if you know how to work the magic knitting loop.

I found myself leaving the 16” cables as they were too big for the sleeves and i had to work the sleeves flat (would not recommend) and seam it together at the end.

I suggest you learn the magic loop technique if you do not already know how.
