DIY Kit - Fisherman Rib Cardigan
The body of this cardigan is knit flat in one piece. The back panel is worked first from the bottom-up. Without casting off, the first front panel is worked from the top-down. The second front panel is knit from the top-down after casting off for the first front panel and reconnecting the working yarn. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the outer edge of the garment and worked in the round to the cuff. Two belt loops are made and then attached to the sides of the cardigan. A thin belt is knit and pulled through the loops.
