About this pattern

The Wheat Stitch has my heart, and this cardigan shows it off beautifully. Working side to side gives the texture a lovely look across the body. It's a cardigan you'll grab on repeat once the weather cools down.

The cardigan is worked side to side in one piece in the Wheat Stitch, then seamed at the sides. The sleeves are worked in the round down to a ribbed cuff, so there's no sewing them in.

Why you'll love it

  • Wheat Stitch texture across the whole body
  • Side to side construction in one piece
  • Sleeves in the round, no setting them in
  • Ribbed cuffs for a polished finish

I've attempted a few cardigans and this is the first one I've made that met my expectations if not more. I had a question transitioning to the sleeve but the video was great. Made it for my hubby.

LOVED making this cardigan. It looks complicated but was really easy with the accompanying YouTube videos.

I love the YouTube video that is added in the instructions. I do way better seeing it first. I love the instructions for each row on the sleeves as well.
