Carl's Cardigan

Carl's Cardigan is knitted with the beautiful smock pattern and is cute for both girls and boys. It is knitted from the bottom up with raglan indentations on the yoke. The body is knitted in smock. the sleeves are knitted in stocking stitch. Smock knit expands in washing and use - therefore the cardigan will look narrow. right when it is knitted. After washing and in use, it will get the right measurements. Knit a test piece to check the knit strength after washing. before you get started.
