Mix up your sweater knitting with this sideways cardigan. This cardigan is worked side to side, so the knit stitches are horizontal rather than vertical like in a normal sweater. The two adorable pockets are great for stashing your keys.
For our sideways knit sweater we used Frog Tree Alpaca Sport, a wonderfully soft 100% alpaca yarn.
The pattern includes instructions for sizes 40 inch, 44 inch, and 48 inch finished measurements.
Gauge: 5 stitches to the inch in stockinette stitch on size 5 needles.
In order to complete your sweater you’ll need the following:
- 8, 9, or 10 skeins of Frog Tree Alpaca Sport
- US size 5 knitting needle
- Size G crochet hook
- Stitch markers
