Big Sis Sport

$10.00

The OG Big Sister cardigan was one of my first classics and it's amazing what a difference weight can make! While the stitch patterns are the same, this new lighter version is shorter and features side opening set-in pockets. Outside of tacking those pockets down, no finishing is required as the collar is worked alongside the body. You'll love the feel of this year-round wearable cardigan constructed seamlessly from the top down. Sweater is shown in Size 3 with approximately 1"/2.5 cm negative ease at the chest, as I don’t intend to wear it closed. Chest measurements include overlapped buttonband.

Skills needed: Pattern is written for adventurous beginning level knitters ready to track several stitch patterns while shaping and comfortable with picking up and knitting sts as well as short row shaping (for optional pockets only). Pattern suggests a provisional cast-on but includes instructions provided to replace with a standard cast-on. It also features the cable cast-on: video tutorial linked in pattern demonstrates this technique. Linked tutorial is also available for the pocket technique.
