6×6 Design Journey – Getting the Neckband right.

I do have some sort of plan for this cardigan, but as usual, the details elude me.

This is my first sample which is basically what it will look like but …

… it’s not quite right.

It took a little knitting and lots of thinking in between, but 3 samples later, I think I have it figured out.

I’m knitting a cardigan. YAY, here we go. Cheers, Deb

I'm a Knitter. The capital K means every day, everywhere. I started designing as co-owner of Cabin Fever with my sister Lyn. We have published over 160 patterns and 11 books. I'm also working on a new set of patterns for Any Gauge or Gauge-free knitting so you can dive into your stash and cast on for a Top Down sweater that fits, or an accessory to use up those odd balls of yarn.

  1. Deb, I am enjoying the process for designing your square neckline. The garter ridges are attractive – I like them. The only square neckline I have knit was E.Z.’s ‘Green Sweater’. Done in a tube of circular knitting, bottom to top, with three steeks Two for the sleeves and one for the neckline.

  3. Wow, that looks great! I like that you are doing the button bands, with button holes on both sides, at the same time as the rest of the sweater – much easier than going back to pick up the button bands later! That is always where I start to lose interest in the project…

    I love seeing your thought process and I admire your “stick to it” attitude!

    Thanks

  4. oh I love a good cardi with button bands & collar built in. I hate having to pick up all those stitches and avoid it at all costs. Thanks for sharing your superb design skills, can’t wait to see the finished pattern.
