For those who have mastered basic knitting techniques and are ready to expand their skills. Patterns may introduce slightly more complex techniques and patterns, such as shaping, increasing, decreasing or working multiple colors or easy lace patterns. The yarn weight may vary, and the patterns might introduce working with double-pointed needles or circular needles. Patterns will help knitters gain confidence and experience with new techniques while still working within a manageable level of difficulty.

Leah has also designed a cowl to accompany the cardigan, which is worked in the round to create a doubled fabric for a substantial neck warmer, and is easily adjusted to accommodate more or less leftover yarn from your cardigan project!
