Sirdar Twilight Trellis Cardigan
What is Being Made
The Sirdar Twilight Trellis Cardigan (Design No. 10716) is an intermediate-level knitted cardigan featuring a textured stitch pattern that creates visual interest on both sides of the fabric. This garment is available in six sizes, ranging from 81cm to 137cm chest circumference (32 inches to 54 inches), making it suitable for a wide range of body types. The cardigan is designed with a classic construction that allows knitters to choose their preferred texture orientation before beginning the project.
Techniques Used
This cardigan is constructed using a bottom-up seamed approach, meaning the individual pieces are knitted separately from the lower edges upward, then joined together during finishing. The pieces are worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, which is a traditional method for cardigan construction that allows for easier shaping and placement of button bands. The pattern includes specific instructions for creating properly aligned ribs and button plackets, with two pattern variations (Pattern 1 and Pattern 2) provided to ensure the textured stitch appears correctly on the exterior of the finished garment regardless of which texture orientation the knitter prefers.
Stitches Used
The Sirdar Twilight Trellis Cardigan features a textured stitch pattern that displays attractive texture on both the front and reverse sides of the knitted fabric. This versatile stitch allows knitters creative flexibility in choosing which side to display as the garment's exterior. The pattern incorporates ribbed sections for the button placket and likely uses ribbing for cuffs and hem edges, which are standard finishing elements in cardigan design that provide structure and prevent rolling.
Materials
This pattern is designed to be knitted with Sirdar Jewelspun yarn in aran weight. Jewelspun is described as a soft, light aran-weight yarn that blends opulent colors to create a hand-spun appearance while remaining easy to care for compared to traditional hand-spun yarns. The recommended shade for this design is shade 851, though the pattern notes that Jewelspun can be knitted repeatedly in different color shades to achieve varying effects. The pattern is compatible with standard knitting needles appropriate for aran-weight yarn, though specific needle sizes are referenced in the complete pattern instructions.
