Three Season Cardigan is ideal for intermediate garment knitters. Though the textured stitches, lace, and cables are relatively straightforward, this pattern requires chart-reading skills, as written instructions will not be provided. However, comprehensive written directions, schematics, and video tutorials ensure a smooth construction process. In-depth tutorials cover special techniques featured in the Three Season Cardigan, such as provisional cast-on, joining shoulders, and adding buttonholes.
Construction Overview: The cardigan’s body is worked flat, with sleeves knit in the round. Back shoulder pieces are knit separately and joined across the back of the neck. The back panel, including an armscye for sizes 4-10, is knit following a chart and concludes with a ribbed 2x2 hem.
Front panels are picked up from the shoulder stitches and knit flat, following charts that create a beautiful V-neck (with an armscye for sizes 5-10). The front panels also conclude with a ribbed 2x2 hem. The sides are seamed using the mattress stitch, forming armholes.
Starting at the right bottom hem, pick up and knit the button band and collar, incorporating buttonholes as shown in the tutorial. Following the collar, pick up and knit stitches for the sleeves (worked in the round). Adorn the sleeves with cozy 1x1 ribbing, as indicated by the chart.
