The CAMITA (Cardigan mit Taschen = Cardigan with Pockets) is a striped, circular yoke, top-down cardigan that features neat details and interesting techniques. It uses an additional lace weight yarn every few rows to create the beautifully subtle stripes.
Start top down with short rows to create the sporty and comfy crew neckline, continue with the yoke, working stripes and increases as described. Separate into sleeve and body, then work pockets as you move down the lower body - in a very satisfying and uncomplicated way. The sleeves are worked in the round and can be shaped as in the photos or straight. At the end you pick up stitches for the collar, work the ribbing and then add the front bands. All ribbings end (or start) with a tubular bind-off (cast-on) for a professional finishing.
