Product Details
The Finial & Fern Cardigan is a top-down, drop sleeve colorwork cardigan with two length options. The construction starts at the shoulders, which are worked flat down to the underarm. The front and back pieces are then joined together to work in the round with a center selvage for steeking.
The idea for this sweater came to me on a bleak day in the middle of winter, when I was freezing my keister off and dreaming of spring. I was lusting after all things growing and green, but I also really wanted a super warm, super cozy cardigan that would feel like cocooning myself in a big blanket. Oh, and I wanted it fast.
“Fast” and “knitting” do not usually go hand in hand, but by using bulky-weight yarn this cardigan knits up surprisingly quickly. And it’s cozy! And warm! And like wearing a big blanket! And green!
This pattern includes options for short and long lengths, and it looks great on all genders. And if you hate catching floats in colorwork, be sure to check out my handy trick :w
