The House Cardi
DESCRIPTION
I have always wanted to knit a bulky cardigan pattern for beginners, using a relaxing and easy stitch.
My easy cardigan knitting pattern, The House Cardi, features roomy pockets, bold, color-blocked stripes, and well-defined stitches.
This knitted cardigan is the ideal layer for chilly mornings, cool nights, and anything in between!
The easy cardigan pattern has one-piece construction (because there are times when you’ll want to knit continuously around the body without interruption by the side seam)!
In The House Cardi the right front, back, and left front are knitted in a single piece from the bottom up starting with the ribbing.
Then, at the armholes, the fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders to create the armhole openings.
The sleeves are worked picking up stitches from the armholes, without any increases to the cuff. This is a practical choice for layering pieces, where more ease is desired at the cuff and lower arm.
Two optional pockets are knitted and attached to each front panel.
