Cardigan - Blue Sand
Hiya! As a Knitting Instructor for Purls of Wisdom , I selected the “ Blue Sand Cardigan ” by La Madison Rililie for this year's Fall KAL project. This cardigan is top-down and features a different take on yoke construction, there are various methods to achieve a soft sloping shoulder line. It features a longer back with a rounded large hem (short rows), textured stitches, and a pocket . I chose this cardigan not only because of the yoke constructions options available; but also, because knitters can make it shorter, stripes or solid, without pockets, etc. The designer knitted the original in cotton, but knitting in DK or Light Worsted is perfect for the Fall. The gauge is 21.5 stitches and 27.5 rows = 4 inches in stocking stitches on size 7 needles. A few ladies in the group are making it shorter and one color. They have found it challenging which was my desire and I am looking forward to seeing their creation. We all should continue to become for skillful in our craft..
