Loopy Mango Project Bag
Don't let the delicate pinecone motif fool you—this cardigan is much easier to knit than it looks. Worked seamlessly from the top down, Pinecone lets you try it on as you go and customize the sleeve and body length for the perfect fit. The result is a lightweight cardigan you'll reach for again and again, whether you're layering it over a dress, a tank, or your favorite T-shirt.
With simple shaping this is a rewarding project that keeps you coming back for "just one more row." And when someone inevitably asks where you bought it, you get to say, "I made it."This cardigan is worked flat from the neck to the armholes, then stitches are placed on hold for the sleeves while the body is worked flat to the bottom edge. When the body is complete, the sleeves are worked in the round. Pine cone motif: this is a 10 stitch, 20 row repeat.
