Eli Baby Cardigan with round yoke
Introducing the delightful and versatile Eli cardigan, a perfect knitting project for those looking to enhance their skills while creating a stylish garment. This simple yet elegant cardigan is expertly crafted flat from the top down, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. For this project, we’ve utilized two different types of yarn: a beautiful self-striping cotton/viscose blend, Gomitolo Collina, and a solid color option, Bacca (100% cotton). Both yarns from Lana Grossa are now discontinued, but their quality and unique textures are sure to inspire your creativity.
The Gomitolo Collina features a slubby tweed texture with a gauge of 24 stitches per 10 cm (4 inches), while the Bacca offers a smoother finish with a gauge of 19 stitches per 10 cm (4 inches). Although both yarns were chosen for this design, feel free to work the Eli cardigan using just one type of yarn to create your personalized look. The skill level for this cardigan pattern is best described as "confident beginner," making it accessible for those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to take their crafting to the next level.
Whether you’re looking to make a cozy layer for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Eli cardigan is a project that can be enjoyed by knitters of all ages. With its straightforward construction and charming design, it’s perfect for experimenting with different color combinations and textures. So gather your knitting supplies, and let's bring the Eli cardigan to life! Enhance your knitting skills and add a fashionable piece to your wardrobe with this delightful cardigan pattern.
