Who doesn’t like bobbles? They are fun to make, look super cute and all girls love them.:-)
The cardigan is worked seamlessly from top to bottom. You will start working with provisional cast-on at back neck, begin cable patterns on the back, then continue downwards until underarm. Next each front will be worked separately. Finally you will join all three parts and work back and forth continuing all cables until you reach bottom hem.
After completing the body you will add a ribbed shawl collar and then two top-down sleeves. The stitches for the sleeves will be picked up around armhole and the sleeve caps will be shaped using short rows. Cable patterning on the sleeves mimics that of the main body.
The cardigan is available separately and as a set with Bobbly Hat.
