C a n d y C a rd ig a n
For those of
you who s been following us for a while you know that we lovethe garter stitch. But we also love nice patterns and stitches.
The woven stitch is super-easy and super-n ice; the best of both
worlds.
The cardigan is knitted using US 6 needle, but the yarn requires
US 2 needles. If you want a tighter knit , we recommend using
US needles 3 or 4. Or you can switch to smaller needles after
finishing the woven stitch. The cardigan ended up being pretty
wide, and it wouldnt hurt to change to smalle r needles,
especially if youre a loose knitter.
The size is 6 months, but we made an extra fold on the sleeves,
so that it can be used over a longer period of time. The
cardigan is a top down knit.
