About Design

The construction of this Cardigan is very simple and similar with the SnowDrop Cardigan for Children.

Is worked bottom up, working the back and front panels in one single piece until armpit.

At the armpit we will split back panel and the 2 front panels and let a few stitches for the arm holes.

We will continue to work the 3 panels individually until we have the arm hole depth.

Sew the shoulders.

We will work then the sleeves and sew them to the cardigan.

Adding the collar and done.

Bellow you will find the sketches with final measurements.

About Materials

• Bulky weight yarn, 12 ply, category 5.

I used Madame Tricote Paris, Tango in the color Cream.

*here I have something to add because you saw that the sleeves are in a different shade. Well, had the yarn for some while and when I was about to finish the SnowDrop Cardigan Adult Version, I realize that I needed more yarn and I didn’t found the same shade.

You can try to work with 2 strands of 5 ply yarn, but you should verify the gauge

We will also add some pockets to this SnowDrop Cardigan Adult Version.

With all these being said, we can start.

First, foundation chain.

S – 100

M – 110

L – 118

XL – 126

Row 1

1 sc in each stitch across, ch 1 and turn.

Rows 2 – 12

Repeat row 1

*if you want your SnowDrop Cardigan Adult Version to be longer add a few more rows here

At row 13 we will start to make the pockets. To make them we will work the front panels and back individually.

First, count from the front panels:

S – 23 sts

M – 26 sts

L – 28 sts

XL – 30

Put a stitch marker in the last counted st.

 

We will start to work 1 sc in each of the sts that we marked, beginning with one front panel, then the other, and at the end we will work the back. For all 3 panels we will  13 rows. This will be the high of the pocket.

When working the first row on the back, we will add some chain extension at the beginning and at the end of the back side. These extensions will be the pockets depth.

When you start to work on the back panel, chain first 14 sts. Then insert the hook into the first st of the back and continue with 1 sc in each stitch until you get at the end. At the end of the round ch again 14. Ch 1 more and turn

Continue to work as normal, 1 sc in each st, including the chain, until you have in total 13 rows.

Ok, so we made 12 rows before the pockets and 13 rows for the pockets, in total 25 rows.

Let’s continue with row 26.

Row 26

This row will start as normal at one end of a front panel (depending in which side we are on the wrong side).

At this round we have to work together, the front panel and the extension for the pocket. In this way we will join the pocket with the front panel and we will work again an entire row.

Rows 27 – 40

Continue working 1 sc in each st.

Row 41

At row 41 we will split the back panel, from the front panels, letting a few sts for the arm holes.

Count the sts and mark them to know how many sts you will have to work on each panel.

S – 28 sts for the front panels, 4 sts for the arm holes, 36 sts for the back

M – 32 sts for the front panels, 4 sts for the arm holes, 38 sts for the back

L – 35 sts for the front panels, 4 sts for the arm holes, 40 sts for the back

XL – 38 sts for the front panels, 4 sts for the arm holes, 42 sts for the back

Now we will work each side individual for:

S – 18 rows

M – 19 rows

L – 20 rows

XL – 21 rows

On the left side of the front panel let some button holes. I made them at row 13 and 16 (from 18) by skipping 2 sts and ch 2 instead.

After finishing with these rows we have to sew the shoulders.

S – 10 sts on each shoulder

M – 12 sts

L – 13 sts

XL – 14 sts

After this step we will start making the sleeves.

XL – 14 rows

Repeat the pattern for the other sleeve.

Sew the sleeves with the body of the cardigan.

After completing this step we can work the collar.

Collar

Insert the yarn and hook in the first st of one front side. Make 1 sc in each st of the neck line (front panels and in the sts left on the back.

Repeat this row for as many rows as you want depending on how high you want the collar to be. I made 8 rows.

After finishing the collar the SnowDrop Cardigan Adult Version is done.

Don’t forget to sew te buttons and the pockets inside.
