Pressed Flowers Cardigan

Description

The Pressed Flowers Cardigan, designed by Amy Christoffers, is worked in one piece from the bottom up. Per the designer, this is an easy to wear, relaxed fit, V-neck cardigan with an allover mosaic pattern.

Mosaic knitting is a fun, easy way to knit with two colors and achieve dramatic results without the stress of carrying two colors across a row. Each row of knitting is done with only one color at a time. The stitches in the second color are slipped without being knitted.

In this class we will cover:

• Swatching for gauge in pattern.
• How to manage casting on a large number of stitches.
• Bottom up (all in one piece) sweater construction.
• Mosaic knitting worked flat (on the body) and in the round (on the sleeves).
• Following a chart for mosaic knitting.
• Button bands and buttonholes

Adventurous Advanced Beginner Skill Level (and up): must be able to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, work basic stitch patterns with combinations of knits and purls, simple increases/decreases, and follow written instructions. Ability to read a chart is helpful, though not required.
