Hand Knitting Patterns
This is a great coat for cold weather – consider going up a size if you want it to be roomy enough to wear over another sweater for extra warmth. The stitch pattern is easily memorized, and the sweater works up very quickly. Instructions are given for both a men’s and a women’s version. Customize it to your liking by working it to match the length of a favorite sweater or coat.
This cardigan is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together. The front bands/collar is worked separately, then sewn to the neck edge. The color pattern is worked in mosaic knitting, where you work only 1 color at a time, changing colors every 2 rows.
The stitch pattern is presented in written format.
