Minimalist cardigan! :) (pic heavy)

[neekie]

First cardigan ever, really happy


It's a really easy pattern, no waist shaping to worry about. Miles of moss stitch though, I don't think I'll touch anything that requires K1 P1 for some time!









This is knit with Jo sharp silkroad aran tweed yarn, on size 6 needles instead of size 7, I knit the 34" size in a smaller gauge to get a 32". I also made it an inch longer.


(also, WTH do you do with your hands when you pose for a photo?! I've got no idea where to put them, that's why it always looks like I'm trying to grab at something sorry )

ETA: Oops forgot to say this is the minimalist cardigan by Ruthie Nussbaum, it's from interweave knits fall '07

I love it, i'm always looking for a cute simple cardigan to throw on. What pattern?

[honeypeaches]

I was considering making this one too. Did it take you long?

Thanks for the lovely comments!

It took me 12 days, knitting as much as I could. Go for it, it's a lot of moss stitch and a lot of seaming but worth it, I think.

I love that cardi, been thinking about making it, but the moss st is making me put it off.

Yours is great - lovely color on you.

re: hands:  Just pretend you're a Rebecca model and hop and skip through the park or on the beach, you wont even think about your hands.

I love your first cardi, it looks great on you!
Weird coincidence: I just made my first cardigan using the exact same color  Mine is stockinette tough, I have no patience for the moss stitch.
