Learn how to knit the Victory Cardigan using Corinne’s “Knit the Victory Cardigan Course”. She will help you every step of the way from joining in the round, to dividing for sleeves, all the way to cutting your first steek and lots more in between!

Have you wanted to knit a sweater that fits your body? Have you wondered why waist shaping has bulging bits that don’t fit your curves? What about knitting a sweater to fit your shoulders and back as well as your bust? All these concerns are addressed in the brand new design by Corinne, aptly called the Victory Cardigan.

Corinne designed the perfect cardigan (by knitting the prototype 3 times!) and the results speak for themselves! The Victory Cardi is a comfortable, well fitting cardigan that is a pleasure to wear and fits like a glove.
