Paintbox Yarns Panthera Yoke Cardigan
What is Being Made
The Paintbox Yarns Panthera Yoke Cardigan is a button-front cardigan featuring a distinctive yoke construction. This garment is designed to fit bust sizes ranging from 81 cm to 117 cm (32 to 46 inches), with finished back lengths varying from 49 cm to 56 cm (19¼ to 22 inches) depending on size selection. The cardigan is constructed with seven buttons for closure and includes set-in sleeves with lengths of approximately 46 to 48 cm (18 to 19 inches).
Techniques Used
This advanced-level cardigan employs several sophisticated knitting techniques:
- Bottom-up construction: The cardigan is worked from the bottom edge upward, allowing for easier fitting adjustments and modifications during the knitting process
- Stranded colorwork: The yoke features stranded knitting, a technique where multiple yarn colors are carried across the back of the work to create intricate patterned designs
- Seamed construction: Pieces are knitted flat and then seamed together, providing a professional finish and structural integrity
- Buttonholes: Integrated buttonhole placement allows for secure button fastening along the front opening
- Worked flat: All pieces are created on straight needles rather than in the round, giving the maker control over shaping and construction details
Stitches Used
The Panthera Yoke Cardigan utilizes fundamental knitting stitches as the foundation for its construction. Stocking stitch (knit on right-side rows, purl on wrong-side rows) forms the primary fabric base, creating a smooth, classic appearance. Garter stitch (knitting every row) is employed for textural elements and structural details. The stranded colorwork technique incorporates multiple colors within rows to build the patterned yoke design, requiring careful tension management and color coordination throughout the work.
Materials
This cardigan pattern specifies Paintbox Yarns yarns exclusively. The main color (MC) is Stormy Grey in Paintbox Yarns Simply DK, requiring 4 to 7 balls of 100g depending on size. Granite Grey (color A) is used as a secondary color, with 1 to 2 balls needed. Pina Colada (color B) from Paintbox Yarns Metallics DK provides accent colorwork, requiring 1 ball. The pattern calls for 3¼mm (UK 10 – US 3) knitting needles and 4mm (UK 8 – US 6) knitting needles, along with a 4mm (UK 8 – US 6) circular knitting needle for neckband finishing. Seven buttons complete the closure system. The recommended gauge is 22 stitches, establishing the tension baseline for accurate sizing.
