Esme’s an A-line, open front women’s cardigan with a trick up its sleeve. This is a bottom-up, simple sweater knit in pieces…seven pieces, to be exact. You’ll work towards a flexible, low round neck cardigan while enjoying completely portable, simple patterned knitting that fits in a purse while you’re on the go!
Esme requires knitting, purling, increases, decreases, and sewing up at the end. This design uses written instructions and a schematic. It calls for a double strand of lace-weight or a single strand of Aran yarn that knits at 17 sts sts = 4"/10 cm after blocking.
Esme McStrippit is a relative of two other designs: Strippy McStrippit and Rosie McStrippit. Knit all three for great capsule wardrobe foundation pieces.
Accessibility Note: This pattern offers an additional Low Vision pdf option, with Arial 24 point font and photo captions, for those who need large print.
