Knitting Kit - Flow Loop Cardigan by Other Loops

The FLOW_LOOP_CARDIGAN is a V-neck cardigan with a timeless style. Its design emphasizes clean lines, beautiful details, and a durable finish, making this piece a wardrobe staple for any season.

Its elegant vertical pattern of delicate cables creates a harmonious interplay of lines and a soft graphic effect. The distinctive border composed of twisted loops, combined with a saddle shoulder type set-in sleeve that extends from the back to the sleeves, highlights the garment's refined construction. Sewn pockets, edged with delicate cables, complete the design with a touch of understated and functional elegance.

The cardigan is knitted top-down. Work begins at the center back of the neckline. The shoulders are shaped back and forth, first on the left shoulder, then on the right shoulder. The back is then worked with short rows to achieve an optimal fit, then shaped with increases for the armholes.

The fronts are knitted separately, with short rows and increases to form the V-neck. The body is then joined and knitted back and forth before being finished with a delicate cable border. The button band is made in double knitting, which gives it more structure and a neat, durable finish.

The sleeves are knitted in the round by picking up stitches around the armholes, then shaped with elegant decreases down to the cuffs. The entire cardigan is made in the characteristic textured pattern, creating a harmonious and refined result.
