PetiteKnit patterns for ladies
Agnete Cardigan
The Agnete Cardigan is worked from the top down in patent knit. First knit a double knit piece to sit at the neck and connect with the front edges. Next, pick up stitches in this piece and work the back piece from there. Then knit the right front and left front. These three pieces are joined to form the body, which is worked back and forth in patent with front edges in double knit. Buttonholes are worked along the double knit front edges. Stitches are picked up in the armhole and from these stitches the sleeves are worked.
Make a swatch before you start to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. Please note that the gauge in height (i.e. number of rows per 10 cm) can vary depending on the yarn you are knitting with. The most important thing is that the width gauge (i.e. number of sts per 10 cm) is correct. There is a video of the patent knitting and double knitting techniques at www.petiteknit.com.
