Boxigan (“boxy cardigan, as you might have guessed”) is worked seamlessly from the top down.
The laid-back design has been kept as streamlined as possible, with stockinette stitch only occasionally broken up by subtle eyelet columns, as well as knit braids at the cuffs and edges – just enough to be recognized as hand knit by insiders!
Work starts at the back with a long-tail cast-on, after which the Back stitches are worked down to the armhole and placed on hold. Stitches for the Front are picked up one row in from the cast-on edge for an imitated shoulder “seam” look.
Especially important for boxy-look garments, Front and Back neckline, as well as sleeve caps, are shaped with German Short Rows for a proper fit.
Thanks to detailed explanations about special techniques used (with links to explanatory videos) this uncomplicated garment can be worked even by courageous beginners. Featuring 12 sizes in a size range from XS1 to 4XL, this garment is truly for inclusive. The pattern is fully written out and contains no charts.
