Christstollen Cardigan

Biches et Bûches x Knits pour moi

Christstollen Cardigan is a collaboration with Biches et Bûches. The main color yarn used is a rustic and soft Le Lambswool, the contrast color yarn is a lovely Le Gros Silk & Mohair. The combination of these two yarns is perfect for colorwork, resulting in a cozy and warm cardigan.

This pattern is a written pattern included charts.

Christstollen Cardigan starts from the ribbing at the body and works upward towards the shoulders.Apart from the ribbing, the entire piece is worked stockinette stitch with fair isle knitting technique throughout. Steek stitches are added to the center of the front and both sides of the armholes in preparation for the “steek technique” to create openings.
