INFO & TIPS
The cardigan is worked top-down, back and forth.

The neckline is worked first in a rib pattern with twisted knit stitches and slipped selvedge stitches.

There is one selvedge stitch at each edge of the work – always knitted on both right and wrong side. These selvedge stitches are not included in stitch counts.

The ribbing is worked in plain rib (no bobbles), but the rest of the cardigan features a “sailor bobble” every time the yarn changes colour.

These bobbles are worked on both right and wrong sides of the work.

The body and sleeves are separated and worked individually. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edge for the button bands

STRIKKEFASTHED
10 x 10 cm = 27 m x 38 r

INFO OG TIPS
Cardiganen strikkes oppefra og ned. Frem og tilbage. Halskanten strikkes først i en rib med drejet ret, og vævemasker.

Der er en kantmaske i hver side af arbejdet. Det vil sige at første og sidste maske altid strikkes ret. Kantmaskerne tælles ikke med i maskeantallet. Ribben strikkes ikke med mønster, men resten af cardiganen strikkes ved, at hver gang garnet skifter farve, strikker man en “Sømandsbobbel”. Denne strikkes ligegyldigt om du er på ret, eller vrangsiden af arbejdet.

Der deles til krop og ærmer, og disse strikkes hver for sig. Til sidst samles der masker op til knaphuls stolpen.
