Julie Hoover for Purl Soho

Stiger Pattern Download

Yarn: Fingering-Weight

Light but sometimes warm, casual but sometimes elegant, a warm-weather cardigan has a lot of roles to fill, and surprising no one, Julie Hoover fills them all beautifully with her Stiger! Julie knit this cardigan in flat pieces, then sewed them together, using the seams to give this cotton sweater the structure it needs. She picked up stitches up and around the opening to finish things off with a wide ribbed edge. The sweater’s super simple stitch pattern uses basic decreases and yarn overs to create a light, open texture and a fabric with the breezy style befitting a summer’s day! Our fingering-weight Picnic Cotton also keeps this cardigan light, and its 100% Pima cotton fibers mean that it is strong enough to last, even when the Stiger becomes your new go-to!
