Beskrivning
Easy Cardigan Knitting pattern
The cardigan is worked flat from the bottom up on circular needles, with the front, back and front knitted as one piece. The sleeves are knitted separately and then joined to the body on the same needle. The yoke is worked as one piece, with straightforward raglan decreases.
There are no seams to sew together and no knitted button bands to pick up afterwards. The front edges are simply finished with a crocheted edging and crocheted button loops. If you prefer traditional knitted button bands instead of the crocheted edging, you can easily add them. Just allow for one extra ball of yarn.
Choose your own neckline
One of my favourite features of this construction is that you can easily try the cardigan on as you knit. The neckline isn’t shaped until the very end, so you can decide for yourself how wide or narrow you would like it to be.

Gauge: 23–24 stitches in stocking stitch = 10 cm on 3.5 mm needles before washing.
Cashmere naturally relaxes and stretches slightly after washing and wear, giving a finished gauge of approximately 22 stitches = 10 cm.
If your knitting is too tight, you may run short of yarn, so be sure to check your gauge carefully before continuing.
