Suzette Stitch
This stitch is worked on a foundation chain in multiples of 2. (This means you’ll end up with an odd number of stitches to work with because one chain will be lost to turning.)
- Row 1: (1 sc, 1 dc) into 2nd ch from the hook, *sk next ch, (1 sc, 1 dc) into next ch; repeat from * to the last 2 chs, sk 1 ch, 1 sc in the last ch.
- Row 2: ch 1, turn, (1 sc, 1 dc) into 1st sc, sk next dc, *(1 sc, 1 dc) into the next sc, sk next dc; repeat from * to the end, finishing with 1 sc in last st.
Repeat Row 2 for pattern.
- This pattern includes a full video tutorial linked on the front page for steps that are easier to show than tell.
- You will start by making the back panel, then continue seamlessly onto the first front panel and the second front panel—all worked as one piece with no seams. Next, make the sleeves and attach them to the body. Sew the side seams together, then finish with one round of sc around the plackets, neckline, and bottom edge of the cardigan.
- This design is meant to fit oversized, with a wide bust. The finished cardigan length falls at mid-thigh, though you can adjust it to any length. Keep in mind that extra yarn will be needed for added length.
- The turning chain does not count as a stitch in this pattern.
- Both the cardigan length and sleeve length are adjustable.
