Skye
A staple cardigan with soft details, and flattering fit. The Skye Cardigan is the perfect addition to any wardrobe, and thanks to the lightweight fabric created using Le Petit Lambswool, you can wear this year-round!
NOTES: The sweater ribbings are worked flat separately, from the bottom up, then joined to work the body in one piece. The body is divided at the armholes, and the Left Front, Right Front, and Back are worked separately. The necklines are shaped using decreases and by binding off stitches, and shoulders are shaped using Wrap and Turn Short Rows. The shoulders are joined using the 3-Needle Bind Off, and the sleeves are picked up at the armhole edge. The ribbed Neckband is worked from picked up stitches around the neckline, in 1 x 1 ribbing, with buttonholes. Pockets are knit from the top-down and sewn to the fronts after blocking. To finish, buttons are sewn onto Neckband.
