Turning Sideways
A change of perspective or orientation can often simplify a puzzle that seems complex. This design turns a cardigan on its side to make it possible to work the graceful two color stranded design on just the front of the sweater, all without a steek! This simple solution creates a wearable work of art.
This clever sweater is knit from side to side starting from each ribbed cuff and working towards the center. You may find that working a project from a different direction to be a refreshing change.
You’ll be amazed by the clever technique that allows you to cast on stitches for the front and back of the cardigan without an edge that requires seaming. The only seam to work will be along the length of the sleeve!
That stunning mosaic colorwork is worked only on the front and is charted for your ease.
