Garden Cardigan or Pullover
Two-Session Class
Sundays, June 2nd and Sunday, July 14th
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
The Garden Cardigan or Pullover, designed by ANKESTRiCK, is an enjoyable beginner sweater pattern and introduction to lacework. The cardigan has a shawl collar (no buttons), and the pullover has a v-neck. There is minimal shoulder shaping with an easy-to-learn German short row method, and the rest of the sweater is designed to have up to 10” of positive ease (so, minimal shaping).
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down and includes an intriguing and creative design for the back neck that prevents the sweater from sliding off the shoulders. Stitches for the drop-sleeves are picked up after the body of the sweater is complete, and the wider arm opening is a friendly introduction to picking up stitches.
The lightweight garment is created by using two strands of fingering weight yarn held together. Sport or DK weight yarn can also be used. It will all depend on your swatch ;)
