Everyday Cardigan is knit in classic seed stitch- easily achieved by alternating knit and purl stitches to create the signature “seed” bumps. It is an easy-wearing cardigan knit flat from the bottom of the back panel up, over the shoulders, and down the front panels. You’ll pick up stitches for sleeves knit in the round before finishing the cardigan with a neckband and two front pockets. Buttons are an optional addition- and, due to the large gauge, there is no need to incorporate button holes!
