Amie Cardigan

Introducing my newest cardigan: 

Amie

I love knitting from the top down because there is not seaming involved. Once I am finished knitting, the garment is pretty much ready to be worn.

Amie Cardigan

This beautiful cardigan can be worked in a lace yarn that is doubled, in a sport or DK weight yarn. It is knit at a looser gauge so that the result is a cardigan with beautiful drape. The cardigan features a pretty and simple lace design.

The overall length can easily be adjusted because of the top-down construction. Sleeves are set-in and are worked top-down, knit in. This cardigan has absolutely no seaming! 

The pattern features, step-by-step instructions
with photos and website links to teach you how
to knit top-down sleeves that are set-in.
