Rowan Horizon Cardigan by Lisa Richardson
What is Being Made
The Rowan Horizon is a knitted cardigan designed by Lisa Richardson and published by Rowan as pattern ZB304-00005-EN. This garment is a classic cardigan with a front opening edge and shaped front slope, available in nine size options ranging from 71-76 cm to 152-157 cm bust measurements (28-30 inches to 60-62 inches). The cardigan features ribbed edging details and stockinette stitch as the primary fabric structure.
Techniques Used
This intermediate-level knitting project employs several fundamental cardigan construction techniques. The pattern utilizes ribbed edging along the front opening, created through alternating knit and purl stitches that provide structure and elasticity. Shaping is achieved through strategic decreases using K2tog (knit two together) decreases and M1P (make one purl) increases to contour the front slope and adjust stitch counts at various points. The garment is worked in pieces, with separate instructions for the back and left front sections, requiring assembly after completion.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette Stitch (st st): The primary fabric throughout most of the cardigan, created by alternating knit rows on the right side with purl rows on the wrong side, producing a smooth, classic appearance
- Ribbing (K2, P2): Used for the front opening edge and edging details, alternating two knit stitches with two purl stitches to create vertical columns that add elasticity and definition
- K2tog (Knit Two Together): A right-leaning decrease used for shaping the front slope and adjusting stitch counts
- M1P (Make One Purl): An increase worked on purl rows to add stitches where needed for proper fit
- P2tog (Purl Two Together): A decrease worked on purl rows for shaping adjustments
Materials and Tools
The Rowan Horizon cardigan is worked using Rowan Tweed Haze yarn (photographed in the colorway Setting Sun 555). Yarn quantities range from 8 x 50gm balls for the smallest size to 14 x 50gm balls for the largest size, allowing crafters to select the appropriate yardage for their chosen size. The pattern is worked on 6mm (US 10) needles (one pair required). The recommended tension is 14.5 stitches and 20 rows to 10 cm measured over stockinette stitch using the specified needle size, making accurate gauge measurement essential for proper fit across the nine available sizes.
