The arrival of spring entails not only updates in nature, but also in women's wardrobes. The decor of the cardigan – Blooming Gardens, created with multi-colored circular motifs, is quite delicate and at the same time bright against the natural background of the canvas, will add rich colors and positive emotions to the image.

Italian-made bobbin yarn was used for knitting.

halogen lurex 7000m/100g
Mister joe paint – 800m/100g – shaped cotton with PA
Linea piu art.Kimera -1050m/100g
Hook 4mm.

The pattern is connected: 1st row - CCH; 2nd row – RLS, etc.

Based on the model, we calculate and knit a “vest” - front and back according to the pattern. Sew the shoulder seams.

Shelf and back diagram

We knit circles with a diameter of 3-8 cm from multi-colored threads and sew them onto the “vest”.

When knitting in the round, you need to add a different number of loops in each circle, depending on the pattern. If the circle is made from RLS, then you should evenly add 6 loops per circle, if from PS - 8 loops, if from SSN - 12 loops, if from CC2H - 16 loops. And further, with an increase in the number of yarn overs in the columns, 4 loops are added per circle when adding another yarn over. In order to add a loop, you need to knit two stitches from one point, i.e. connect two columns to a common base.

Side and sleeve pattern

We cast on the loops of the pattern from the back + right front and knit the side part. Next, we make the armhole and move on to knitting the sleeves.

We knit the left sleeve symmetrically - from the back + left front.

Sew the bottom seams of the sleeves and the sides of the front and back.

From the top part - shelf + back - we pick up the loops of the pattern and knit down the required length of the product.

Cutting out the bottom of the cardigan

We bind the neck and shelves with 4 rows of sc and “crawfish step”. At the same time as tying, we knit the hanging loops. The buttons are tied with sc.
