Kobe Cardigan (English)

This pattern is in English.

Kobe Cardigan is a light and soft cardigan with balloon sleeves. It is assembly-free and is knitted top-down. The part of the back piece is knitted before stitches are picked up from both sides to create the shoulder and neckline. Eventually, the stitches from the front and back pieces are joined together on the same needles and the rest of the body is knitted back and forth in stockinette stitch. The sleeves are knitted using seed stitch and without decreases to create the balloon effect.
