Die Cross-Pockets Jacke ist der ideale Begleiter, praktisch für jeden Tag.
Das schöne Kreuz-Muster von der Blende läuft am Tascheneingriff weiter und wiederholt sich in der Form der großen Taschen.
In einem Stück von oben nach unten gestrickt, die Ärmel werden gleich mitgearbeitet.
Fast vollkommen nahtlos – nur die Taschen werden von innen angenäht.
Professionelle Schulterlösung mit einer „richtigen“ Armkugel.
The Cross Pockets Cardigan is a relaxed-fitting DK weight cardigan designed by independent designer Hinterm Stein. This garment features gentle waist shaping, a flattering V-neck, and distinctive functional pockets. The design incorporates a decorative band-pattern with small crosses that is echoed in the shape of the large, practical pockets, creating a cohesive visual design element throughout the piece.
This cardigan is knitted from the top down in one continuous piece, eliminating the need for seaming except for a few stitches required to attach the pockets. This construction approach streamlines the building process and creates a seamless garment with minimal finishing work. The pattern includes a professional shoulder-solution and beautifully fitting sleeve caps, ensuring a polished, well-tailored appearance.
The primary stitch used throughout the cardigan is stockinette stitch, which provides a smooth, classic fabric base. The band-pattern features decorative crosses that add visual interest while maintaining the relaxed aesthetic of the design. The V-neck shaping and gentle waist shaping are achieved through strategic increases and decreases worked into the stockinette foundation. The professional shoulder construction ensures proper cap shaping for a refined fit.
The Cross Pockets Cardigan is worked in DK weight yarn with a gauge of 21 stitches and 28 rows over 10 centimeters (4 inches) in stockinette stitch. Any yarn matching this gauge is suitable; Hinterm Stein recommends selecting a quality yarn with good stitch definition to showcase the pattern details. Hand-dyed yarns may produce a special appearance. The yardage requirement is approximately 100 meters per 50 grams (110 yards per 50 grams).
Yarn consumption may vary depending on specific yarn choice and individual gauge adjustments.
Knitters will need circular needles in 4.0mm or 4.5mm (US size 6 or 7) in lengths of 80–100 centimeters, or the size necessary to achieve the specified gauge. Matching double-pointed needles or a second pair of circular needles are needed for working the sleeves. Stitch markers are essential for tracking pattern repeats and shaping points throughout the construction.
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with some experience who are comfortable with top-down construction, waist shaping, and working with stitch markers. The one-piece construction and professional finishing details require attention to detail and familiarity with intermediate knitting techniques.

Tell us what you think about it.
I am sure this cardigan would knit up lovely but above my skill level. I downloaded this pattern, but reading through abbreviations realised it was for a very experienced knitter. My only criticism about love crafts patterns is that you do not get to read abbreviations prior to buying patterns, i have downloaded a few patterns and realised they are above my skill level, sometimes they put the skill level next to them.
