Flower Cardigan Knitting Pattern With Flower Embroidery - KENSI CARDIGAN

This sweet and simple flower cardigan knitting pattern is knitted top-down in one piece and is a beginner-friendly project. The pattern includes options to knit the sleeves either flat or in the round, with clear instructions for both methods.

The delicate floral embroidery design uses basic stitches, making it an ideal introduction to embroidering on knits. The pattern includes a full-size embroidery template and guidance on using water-soluble stabiliser to easily transfer the design — though you can also embroider freehand if you prefer.

With detailed instructions, step-by-step photos, and helpful video links, this flower cardigan pattern is perfect for creating a beautifully finished, personalised cardigan.

Included in the pattern is:
+ Full knitting instructions with stage-by-stage photos for 7 sizes from newborn to 4 years
+ Embroidery designs in 3 sizes for you to trace onto water-soluble stabiliser, which you place onto your knitting and embroider over.
+ Video links to tutorials on how to use the stabiliser and work all the stitches needed to complete the design.
