For this cardigan, my goal was to minimize time spent on finishing work and avoid any “extra” steps. So, I chose a non-curling double-bed knit (K/K) that can be used without welts, cuffs, or hung hems. I opted for buttonholes (just to experiment with knitting them) and a front neckline by casting off and decreasing (considering short-rowing for this part next time). It seems like my plan was successful. I’ll use a three-needle bind-off for the shoulders and attempt to seam the sides with a “figure of 8” seam on my Passap Automatic to achieve really soft, stretchy seams. Perhaps one or two rows of crochet along the neckline? I’ll aim to finish it with minimal effort.
