WAFFLE_LOOP_CARDIGAN is a simple cardigan with a waffle texture and elegant ribbing detail.
The cardigan is worked from top to bottom. First stitches are casted on for the neck and the piece is worked back and forth in the waffle pattern with ribbing on both sides, while at the same time increases are made to shape the upper back. Then stitches are picked up along the shoulder edge and the shoulders are worked individually back and forth in the waffle pattern. The front and back pieces are joined for the body and the body is worked back and forth in the waffle pattern with ribbing on the sides. Sleeve stitches are picked up along the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round in the waffle pattern with ribbed hems. At the end, stitches are picked up for the button band and neckline, which are worked in ribbing and finished with Italian bind off.
