The swingy A-line shape is created by the lace triangle that grows from a small twisted cable down the back.
The cardigan is knitted in one piece from the centre back collar down to the hem, collar, front bands and all. Well, the sleeves (cointiguous, set-in, worked in the round) have to be knitted one at a time, of course, but there is no sewing in sight.
This is a new technique – Åsa’s Top-Down Ziggurat Tricnique! – inspired by Tuulia’s Tailored Sweater Method but knitted in one go, so to speak.
Step-by-step instructions and a photo tutorial guide you through the unusual beginning.
