Seed stitch is a very simple pattern to work, and the slip stitch rib adds just the right touch to make this a lovely cardigan. The narrow ribs at the base of the sweater are worked again in the cuffs, button plackets and collar, which creates a wonderful sense of harmony and flow – something we can never have too much of!

This cardigan is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together.

The stitch patterns are presented in both written and charted formats.
