Peony Cardigan

This chunky and cropped knit cardigan can be worked up in about a week and is relatively easy for an intermediate level knitter or a beginner with some knowledge of knitting basics. It is made up of two front panels, one back panel, two sleeve panels and a neckline that is knit by picking up stitches along the edge of the cardigan body. The pattern has an oversized, slouchy fit and includes sizes XS/S, M/L and XL/2XL. The sample is knit in size M/L. The Seersucker Stitch will be used throughout for this pattern and the techniques you will need to know are knit, purl, 1×1 rib, knit together, cast on and cast off. However, if you are a beginner looking for a challenge, instructional photos are included throughout and helpful videos are listed at the end of the pattern.

Tension: 10cm/4 = 7 stitches, 10 rows in stockinette stitch using 12mm(US17) needles.
