CARBETH CARDIGAN/PULLOVER KITS
$152.40
Kate Davies describes her Carbeth Designs - Cardigan & Pullover on Ravelry - "This {cardigan/pullover] is intended to be wide, cropped, and to hang bell-like from the shoulders. To fit as shown, it should be knitted with at least 10cm / 4in positive ease at the bust. Pick the size at least 10cm / 4in above your actual bust measurement, and if in doubt, select the next size up. Length can easily be added to the sweater to make it less cropped. Shown in the first size with 16.5cm / 6½in positive ease.
Special techniques
3 needle bind off; 2 stitch i-cord bind off; i-cord buttonholes; backward loop cast on
Pattern notes
The cardigan is knitted from the bottom up, and begins with an inch of rib, after which it is worked straight to the underarms (length can be added here to make the cardigan less cropped, if required). Two sleeves are worked, then body and sleeves are joined together to be worked in one piece. The yoke is shaped by decreasing stitches at an even rate from the body only, and, when the correct depth is reached, the stitch count is reduced further for the neck. Button bands are worked, then the neck rib is picked up, folded over and joined to the inside of the garment. Finally, an i-cord bind off and i-cord buttonholes add a neat finish to the front edges. Where one number is given this applies to all sizes."
NOTE - The original pattern calls for DK weight held double to achieve a super bulky weight.
We've paired the pattern with Jody Long Yarns Andeamo, super bulky yarn, Peruvian Highland Wool/Alpaca blend. Gauge was achieved using needle suggestions on the pattern (start swatching with US10-1/2).
