Jethro: A Crochet AND Knit Cardigan Class

 

Here's what Tanis says about the construction: "This cardigan features a combinations of crocheted Granny Squares for the body and knitted elements for the ribbing and sleeves. First, you make a whole bunch of Granny Squares, then you join them to create the back and two fronts. The fronts are then sewn to the back at the shoulders and side seams leaving openings at the top for the sleeves. Stitches are picked up along the bottom of the sweater for the hem ribbing and then along the front open- ing for the button band. Stitches are picked up around the arm openings and sleeves are knit in the round down to the cuff."

 

Susan loved this pattern so much, she has made four of them. FOUR!
