Growing Garden Cardigan by Sandi Rosner for Purl Soho
This free Purl Soho pattern is as cute as a flower bud! It comes in 4 sizes, new born to 2 year old. It is simple and cheerful knit and would be a fabulous first colorwork project. You could use a variegated yarn or mini skeins to achieve the darling little flower bud pattern. Students will learn slipped stitches - resulting in a dotted stripe pattern knitted flat. You will also learn increases and how to separate for the body and sleeves, how to pick up sleeve stitches and finally, how to knit the sleeves in the round.
Students should be able to knit, purl, cast on, bind off - skills learned in Learn to Knit.
Supplies:
Yarn: Worsted weight or light worsted/DK . Can be knit in cotton or wool or a blend. Misha & Puff would be a lovely option as well as The Yarn Story/Origins. For the color work flower buds you could use some mini skeins or a variegated yarn like Misha & Puff or Spincycle Dream State.
Needles: US 6 24” circular and US 6 dpn’s or 32” for magic loop for the sleeves.
Notions: scissors, darning needle, stitch markers, 4-5 buttons 3/8 inch diameter, and tape measure
Feel free to contact instructor to meet at MSK to pick out yarn and needles ahead of class if you like. Or stop in any time and chat with Gretchen, Julie or Diana for suggestions.
