Scandi Cardi

Here's a digital pattern for #ScandiCardi. Scandi Cardigan is the lightest and easiest cardigan in my collection. It is oversized, very fluffy, and feels soft and warm. Perfect all year round!

The cardigan is knitted from the bottom up using double thread. Along the way, you divide it into back piece, right front piece, and left front piece. These are knitted separately to the same length before using mattress stitch to sew the shoulders together. Then, you pick up stitches for the sleeves on each side.

The cardigan will be quite friendly for beginners. With YouTube, you will be able to learn ribbing, mattress stitch, and picking up stitches.
