Build a Better V

Here it is. The Build a Better V, a pattern re-do to make the bottom edges flat instead of pointy.

The first Build A … pattern was the Build a V. A baby and child sized garter stitch pattern for Any Gauge of yarn.

The second one was the Build a Bigger V for adults. I wanted a rounded bottom edge so worked the increases down the front and back further and further away from the centre markers (orange markers). That seemed to work.

So I took what I did for the adult version and applied it to the baby/child sized version and here it is: the Build a Better V.

Each of the different parts of the cardigan is in a different colour. This is totally unnecessary ( I had bits of DK weight yarn so that’s what I used). It would look great in one colour. But I am not knitting another version.

One big check mark on my to-do list. I hope you enjoy making this for a special little person.

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.
