Very Berry Cardigan - knitting pattern

Very Berry Cardigan is the perfect addition to your wardrobe, featuring exquisite lace panels along the body (front and back) and delicately detailed sleeves. Whether you choose to knit it to mid-hip length (standard) for a classic look or opt for mid-thigh (long) for an extra layer of coziness, this cardigan offers versatility to suit any style. The knitting process begins from the bottom-up, allowing for a seamless finish: first, you'll work the main body flat, then shift to knitting both sleeves in the round up to the armholes. Once you’ve got all three pieces ready, you’ll connect them and continue crafting the yoke flat, finishing with beautifully applied button bands worked sideways.

This comprehensive tutorial provides you with detailed step-by-step instructions for the entire knitting process. It includes written instructions, optional charts for visual guidance, and an array of photo- and video-tutorials to support you at every stage of your knitting journey. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, our resources will ensure your project goes smoothly.

Yarn: To achieve the desired effect, we recommend using a light and fuzzy DK (light-worsted) weight yarn (180-230m/200-250yds per 25g/0.9oz held double or triple) that boasts a high mohair or alpaca content. For those looking to create a sturdier garment, you can also substitute with DK-weight wool (85-100m).

Needles:

Main: 4.5mm/US7

Ribbing: 3.5mm/US4

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 16-17 stitches per 10 cm/4” in stockinette after blocking for optimal fit.
