Product Details

Here's a quick, stylish cardigan to knit now! It's worked from the top down, which minimizes seaming, as well as giving you the option of different sleeve and body lengths! It's boxy shape and raglan sleeve shaping is suitable for girls and boys.

The body and sleeves are knit in a basic St st with Garter st and 1x1 ribbing detailing. If you're adventurous, you can add a little lace panel or try a textured stitch pattern instead. Or, add stripes in a different color or yarn…

The Girl's Version shown here has 3/4 length sleeves, which are easily converted to the hip short-sleeve length (which you are seeing everywhere this season!) by folding up the garter stitch cuffs. It is knit to hit the top of the hip, but could easily be worked to a more cropped length or to a longer tunic length, if desired.
