Knit Cardigan
Build your knitting skills with a cardigan!
This wildly popular design incorporates skills that will add expert finishing to your garment. Whether this is your first time knitting a garment or you've had some experience, this sweater will introduce short rows, double knit button band and Italian bind-off. To get started all you kneed to know is how to cast-on, knit and purl.
You can customize your sweater by changing up the yarn to make it fluffy by combining two types of yarn. Or keep it simple and just use a worsted weight.
We'll be making the Step by Step Cardigan. The classic raglan cardigan is knit from the top down, and the sleeves are knitted in the round. The button band is picked up after the body is worked.
