Square Cardi - unicoloured and coloured squares English

#SquareCardi is a cardigan created in collaboration with Ingrid Bergtun. If you share pictures of your cardigan, please use the hashtag #squarecardi as well as tag @easyasknit and @ingridbergtun. We would love to share your process!

#SquareCardi can be made both as a unicoloured version or a version with coloured squares. In order to make the squares in different colours you will need to use the technique “intarsia”. If you are a lower intermediate level knitter (who knows the basic techniques) this project is the perfect opportunity for you to learn intarsia! If you are a beginner, we recommend that you make the unicoloured version without the squares first as this version is easier to make. You will still achieve a beautiful result at the end and learn different techniques as you make the cardigan. In your order confirmation you will find a pattern for both the unicoloured version of the cardigan as well as the version with the coloured squares.
