I just finished this cardigan and because it was a gift I tried really hard to make it look tidy.
The yarn is recycled yarn ("I used to be a pullover") in Murano green.
The pattern is adapted from the raglan pattern in Ann Budd's book "The knitter's handy book of sweater patterns."
Edit: a few more detail shots of the cardigan:
Back of the zipper. I made a tiny strip to cover the zipper fabric.
Front of the zipper. I knit a strip sideways along the entire edge of the front panels and folded it onto itself to make a roll that would cover the zipper.
The cuff. I had such a hard time finding a cuff I liked and that would look good and not wavy. I ended up making a 2x2 rib and I really like how regular it is.
The front panel mounted on my knitting machine, taking up 198 of the 200 needles available.
Do you mean for the cuffs? I worked from the bottom up so the ribbing is cast on, not bound off unfortunately.
However, there is a bind off method I swear by called the invisible ribbed bind off.
I hope this is helpful to you!
Thanks! I wasn't clear, glad you got what I meant. :) That link is very helpful. I have never tried to sew ribbed bind off before. I will have to give it a try. It looks so nice and flat.
Please share your results when you try it! Would love to know :)
