REBEL cardigan

Instructions include the short and the long versions.

I call this sweater ‘Collar with sleeves’ because I love a warm neck. REBEL also has an incredible shoulder fit!

REBEL cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down, holding two yarns together throughout. Start working the collar separately. Then pick up the back stitches from the collar edge. The upper back is shaped with increases. Stitches are then picked up from each shoulder edge. You then incorporate the sleeve caps to work the yoke with increases for the body and sleeves down to sleeve separation. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold, underarm sts are cast on, and you continue to work the body to the bottom. After the body is completed, the sleeves are worked top down in the round to the end. Besides weaving in the ends, there is no further finishing required.

The garment is designed to be worn with approx. 27 cm (10½”) of positive ease for smaller sizes and narrow bodies and less positive ease for larger sizes and busty girls.
