Knitting is not only a creative and relaxing occupation, in times as these it also is invaluable as a sort of therapy, an opportunity to make enriching encounters and come together with other knitters. Last but not least, it’s a wonderful way to make your own sustainable wardrobe.

Introduction

The Rosemary cardigan is a very simple pattern which is worked top-down, starting at the neckline and constructed downwards with raglan increases. At the height of the armhole, body and sleeves are split and worked separately. The two-colour combination applies simple but fun accents and makes the cardigan stand out from your standard wardrobe. The pattern has been kept very simple specifically to enable new knitters to try their hands and needles at a top-down project. The yarn used in the model is a mix of mohair, nettle fiber, and wool, which results in both a warm and soft cardigan, perfect for chilly summer nights or mid-season wear.

The pattern comes with a detailed description of the raglan-technique, making it a perfect project for beginning knitters.
