Smultronblom (wild strawberry flower) – baby cardigan

This cardigan is knitted from the bottom up. The body is worked back and forth in a texture pattern, while the sleeves are worked in
the round in stockinette. After the sleeves and body are joined, the yoke is shaped with raglan decreases and the back neck with
short rows. Finally, the button bands are knitted on. The cardigan has a fine pattern that looks like small flower buds that open up in
the spring, an image which also inspired our designer.

Markers: Place marker between two stitches and slide to right needle as you come to each. Pm = place marker; sl m = slip marker
Ssk (slip, slip, knit): One at a time, sl 2 sts knitwise, place sts back on left needle and k2tog through back loops = left-leaning
decrease.
Sl 1, k1, psso: Slip 1 st, k1, pass slipped st over.

Rows 14-20: Work in stockinette.
Rep Rows 1-20 until body measures approx. 6 (6, 6¼, 6½, 6½, 7¼, 8¼) in / 15.5 (15.5, 16, 16.5, 16.5, 18.5, 21) cm including
ribbing. End on a RS stockinette row.
On the next, WS, row, BO for sleeves as follows: P27 (29, 30, 32, 34, 35, 36), BO 6 sts, p59 (63, 65, 69, 73, 75, 79), BO 6 sts, p27
(29, 30, 32, 34, 35, 36). Set body aside while you knit the sleeves.

SLEEVES
With smaller size dpn, CO 36 (36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46) sts. Join and work in the round; pm for beginning of rnd. Work around in k1 p1
ribbing for ¾ in / 2 cm. Change to larger size needles and work in stockinette. After 3/8 in / 1 cm, increase as follows: K1, M1L, knit
to last st, MlR, k1.
Increase the same way approx. every ¾ (5/8, 5/8, ¾, ¾, 1, ¾) in / 2 (1.5, 1.5, 2, 2, 2.5, 2) cm a total of 3 (5, 5, 5, 7, 6, 6) times = 42
(46, 48, 50, 56, 56, 58) sts. Continue in stockinette without further shaping until sleeve is 4¾ (4¾, 5¼, 6, 7, 8, 8¾) in / 12 (12, 13,
15, 18, 20, 22) cm long.
Shape armhole: BO 3 sts, knit to last 3 sts, BO last 3 sts = 36 (40, 42, 44, 50, 50, 52) sts rem.
Set sleeve aside while you work second sleeve the same way.

JOINING BODY AND SLEEVES

NOTE Make sure that the texture pattern aligns with the raglan shaping.
Beginning at right front, work to last st before the armhole shaping, pm, k1 (= raglan st), pm, knit sts of one sleeve, pm, k1 from
back (raglan st), pm, work across back to last st before armhole shaping, pm, k1 (raglan st), pm, knit across 2nd sleeve, pm, k1 of
left front (raglan st), pm, work rem front sts = 185 (201, 209, 221, 242, 245, 255) sts total.
Next row, WS: Purl across.
Next Row, RS: Begin raglan shaping – decreases are worked on each side of the 4 raglan sts on every RS row = 8 sts decreased
on every RS row. Always work each raglan st in stockinette.
Work as follows: Work to first marker, *sl 1, k1, psso, sl m, k1 (raglan st), sl m, k2tog*. Rep * to * at each raglan marker. Work a
total of 13 (15, 16, 17, 19, 19, 20) RS rows BUT, after 8 (10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15) RS, decrease rows, begin shaping neck with short
rows on the last row, and, at the same time , continue raglan decreases. Work as follows:

German Short Rows:

Work to st where work will be turned, *slip first st purlwise wyf, pull yarn backwards over needle so both legs of st are now on
needle*. This is a double st (DS) – the one st will look like 2 sts but will be worked as one. Rep * to *.
When you are later working a double st, join the two legs as one st with knit or purl depending on st in pattern. It will help you keep
track of the double sts if you place a marker at each so you can count them and minimize the danger of missing one as you
continue knitting.

SHAPE NECK WITH SHORT ROWS

Row 9 (11, 12, 13, 15, 15, 16) with raglan decreases:
Work in texture pattern and decrease for raglan until 12 sts rem; turn, DS, purl to last 12 sts, turn, DS.
Row 10 (12, 13, 14, 16, 16, 17) with raglan decreases
Work in texture pattern and decrease for raglan until 10 sts rem; turn, DS, purl to last 10 sts, turn, DS.
Row 11 (13, 14, 15, 17, 17, 18) with raglan decreases:
Work in texture pattern and decrease for raglan until 8 sts rem; turn, DS, purl to last 8 sts, turn, DS.
Row 12 (14, 15, 16, 18, 18, 19) with raglan decreases:
Work in texture pattern and decrease for raglan until 6 sts rem; turn, DS, purl to last 6 sts, turn, DS.
Row 13 (15, 16, 17, 19, 19, 20) with raglan decreases:
Work row as usual with texture pattern and raglan decreases. Purl back on WS.
Now you’ve completed all the raglan shaping rows and should have 81 (81, 81, 85, 89, 93, 95) sts rem for neck.
Change to smaller size needles and work in k1, p1 ribbing (begin and end RS row with k1) for ¾ in / 2 cm. BO in ribbing.

BUTTON BANDS
With smaller size circular, pick up and knit an odd number of sts along left front edge as follows: Pick up and knit 1 st in each of
next 3 rows, skip 4th row. Beginning on WS, work back and forth in p1, k1 ribbing (end p1) for ¾ in / 2 cm. BO in ribbing.
Pick up and knit sts along right front the same way – make sure you have the same number of sts as for left side. Work in ribbing
for 3/8 in / 1 cm. On next RS row, make a total of 4 (4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6) buttonholes (see instructions below). Place top and bottom
buttonholes about 3/8 in / 1 cm from edge and space the rest evenly between = approx. 1¾ (1¾, 1 3/8, 1½, 1¾, 1 3/8, 1½) in 4.5
(4.5, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 3.5, 4) cm apart.

Buttonholes: Bring yarn to front of work, sl 1 purlwise (wyf), Take yarn to back of work. Let yarn hang behind work and slip another
st purlwise. Pass first st over second, as when binding off. BO a total of 4 sts the same way. Now slip the last st from right to left
needle. Turn work and take yarn to back of work. CO 5 sts with cable cast-on. Turn work, Slip last new st to left needle and knit it
together with next st through back loops.
After buttonhole row, continue in ribbing as est until band measures ¾ in / 2 cm. BO in ribbing.

FINISHING
Seam underarms. Weave in all ends neatly on WS. Securely sew on 4 (4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6) buttons to left front band, aligned with
buttonholes. Wash following instructions on yarn ball band; dry flat.

Tips & Shortcuts

To avoid questions: Before you begin knitting, read through the pattern.
Stitch count: Always knit or crochet a gauge swatch as recommended in the pattern. If your stitch count doesn’t match the gauge
given in the pattern, try again with larger or smaller needles or hook. If your gauge doesn’t match that in the pattern, your item will
not be the correct size or shape.
Highlight the size you will knit or crochet throughout the pattern to make it easier to follow the instructions.
Charts: It will be easier to follow a chart if you mark your row with a ruler and magnetic board or sticky note.
Ease: The amount of ease included in our garments varies depending on the type and shape of the garment. To determine the
right size, we recommend that you first measure your body. Then you can calculate the garment size depending on how much ease
you want the garment to have. The schematics for each piece show all the garment measurements.
Two-color stranded knitting: When knitting more than 3-4 stitches of the same color, twist the color strands around each other on
the wrong side to avoid long strands or “floats” on the back. If the yarns need to be twisted on several rows/rounds, make sure you
do not stack the twists in the same place to prevent the yarns from showing through on the right side.
Yarn alternative: Please be aware that the gauge (tension), yarn quantity and the shape of the work varies if you use another yarn
(even in the same yarn group).
Tips för hand dyed yarn: Make sure you have enough yarn to complete your project. The colors may vary from time to time. To get
a smooth color mix, you can alternate between two skeins: knit two rows from one and two rows from another skein.
