Popping Cardigan - Adult (english)

Popping cardigan is a wide, cropped, oversized cardigan with a pattern of beautiful popcorn on the back and sleeves. If you want a slimmer fit, simply choose a size smaller and lengthen the sleeves and body if needed. I have chosen to raise the neck for a better fit, using the method German short rows. This is done while simultaneously knitting increases from the right side and adding the first popcorn. When you’ve completed all the increases, the sleeve-sts are placed on hold while you complete the body. The beautiful balloon sleeves are then placed back on a circular needle and completed separately.
