Sirdar 10704 Riptide Cardi PDF

Multi-directional garter stitch and effortless stripes combine to make the Sirdar 10704 Riptide Cardi a vibrant sweater that’s cozy warm too. Jewelspun with Wool Chunky is a machine-washable blend of acrylic and wool that features handspun-inspired self-striping shades. This drop-shoulder cardigan is worked flat beginning with the lower body. Stitches are picked up along one long edge and worked up to the armholes, where the back and fronts split to be completed separately before being seamed at the shoulders. Sleeves are knit flat separately and set in during finishing and tidy garter stitch buttonbands and neck trim provide the final flourish. Add a layer that’s bursting with color and interest to your handmade wardrobe with the Riptide Cardi!
