PetiteKnit has a new pattern. Customers who have knit her patterns tell me that they are great to follow and they love how the finished garment fits.
You can purchase the pattern for the Scarlet Cardigan on Ravelry.
The Scarlet Cardigan is worked from the top down with a line of raised knit stitches down the middle of the back, and along both sides of the body, as well as down the underside of both sleeves. The first section of the back yoke is worked flat, back and forth, while the slope of the shoulders is shaped using short rows. After this, an i-cord edge is worked along the back yoke cast-on edge. The stitches for each of the shoulders are picked up and knitted along this i-cord, and the shoulders are worked separately flat, back and forth. The shoulders are worked with increases for the V-neck. The fronts and back yoke are joined to form the body, which is worked back and forth on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armholes. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the front edges and a double knitted front packet is worked.
The cardigan is knit with DK weight yarn. Here are a few suggestions
