KNITTING PATTERN -- Jules Cardigan & Hat– P192
Make an early start for Autumn / Winter with this cardigan which is worked from the top down with a simple Rib patterned yoke. The cardigan has two version for the sleeves, one knitted in the round, and the other for sleeves knitted flat. The cast-off edge at the bottom and the sleeves is my version of a picot edge, which finishes off the cardigan perfectly. The remainder of the cardigan is knitted in garter stitch.
