A relaxed, comfortable cardigan knit with tuck stitches that can look smart or casual depending on your mood.
Round-neck boxy cardigan knitted using two different tuck stitches
Stitch pattern for the main body is a tuck stitch giving the impression of a big check worked over 8 rows but with no floats, making it a lighter knit, perfect for cool spring days.
Knitted in one piece from the bottom up to the armholes, where it is then separated into the fronts and the back
Sleeves are knitted flat then seamed together.
Button bands and the neck band are picked up and knit in garter stitch.
