The Marshmallow Cardigan

Pattern Introduction
The Marshmallow Cardigan is a seamless, bulk weight cardigan suitable for confident beginner knitters. You’ll start by knitting the back panel until the point where the panel would reach your underarm when you’ll put these stitches on hold. You’ll then pick up the stitches for the 2 front panels and join these. You’ll then knit the front and back panels together. You’ll then pick the stitches up for and knit both sleeves. Stitches are then picked up for the front ribbing which is knitted in 1x1 rib. The cardigan is designed to be worn open but buttons can easily be added.
