Red Berry Cardigan

This cardigan is knit with twisted knit stitches in most part of the back and throughout the sleeves. A bit tricky on wrong side rows, but easy in sleeves which are knitted in the round. Construction is top down raglan with a bit of modifications in shoulders.

Cardigan is completely seamless. Thanks to a lot of ribbing used and cables it is really stretchy and would fit a child for a long time, several seasons for sure. In the pictures it is modelled by almost 3 year old and nearly 5 year old. Fits well both just have to adjust sleeve length.

Used Bendigo Woolen Mills 100% wool Classic yarn, shade Red Berry, a bit less than 2 balls. I start to like Classic yarn despite it is crepe not plied construction I prefer. It is soft yet durable and machine washable. Good for kids garments.
