Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns. Knitters at this level are expected to be comfortable reading patterns, working with a variety of needle types, and executing more advanced techniques such as cables, lace work, detailed construction methods or intarsia. These patterns require reading complex charts or instructions, offering knitters the chance to refine their skills and explore creative, sophisticated designs.

The Fibre Co. Luma (50% Merino wool, 25% organic cotton, 15% linen, 10% silk, 125 m (137 yd) per 50 g hank) in Blanca (Col A) – 2 (2: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2] hanks, in Sage (Col B) 1 [1: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2], and Flamingo (Col C) 10 [10: 11: 12: 14: 15: 15: 16: 17] hanks.
Paradise Cardigan is constructed from the bottom up, starting with the mosaic band at the bottom of the body. The band is made by following a chart and using Standard Mosaic Crochet rules—see chart for instructions. The body is worked in Griddle St without any shaping to the underarm, where it is divided for Front and Back.
Short rows are worked at the shoulders to add height to the panels closer to the neck then shoulders are seamed. Sleeves are then worked from armhole openings and decreased towards Cuff. The longline neckline is added at the front by working rows of dc worked in back loop only. Crab St edging is added around the hem.
