Annie Cardigan by MarGueNée
What is Being Made
Annie is a children's cardigan pattern designed by Marianne Munier for independent designer MarGueNée. This knitted cardigan is available in multiple sizes ranging from 2 years old through 12 years old, with finished bust circumferences from 65 cm (25.5 inches) up to 157 cm (61.75 inches). The pattern accommodates growing children with a comprehensive size range, making it suitable for various ages and body measurements.
Knitting Techniques and Construction
Annie employs fundamental knitting techniques appropriate for an intermediate skill level. The cardigan is constructed using stockinette stitch as the primary stitch pattern, which creates a smooth, classic fabric with a flat appearance on the right side. The pattern requires blocking after completion to achieve the specified gauge and finished dimensions, ensuring proper fit and drape of the garment.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette stitch – the main stitch throughout the cardigan body and sleeves
Materials and Tools Required
The Annie cardigan is worked in 4-ply yarn from The Uncommon Thread in their "Uncommon Everyday" line. Yarn requirements vary by size, ranging from 650 meters (710 yards) for the smallest size up to 1,750 meters (1,600 yards) for the largest size. Knitters will need needles in sizes 3 mm and 3.5 mm (US size 4), with the larger needles used for the main fabric to achieve the specified gauge of 24 stitches and 36 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) when measured after blocking.
Additional tools and notions required include stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats, a cable needle for any cable work, stitch holders or scrap yarn for holding stitches during construction, and a tapestry needle for seaming and weaving in ends.
Gauge and Finishing
Achieving the correct gauge is essential for proper fit in this intermediate cardigan. The specified gauge of 24 stitches and 36 rows per 10 cm should be measured after blocking, which is a crucial finishing step that sets the fabric and ensures the cardigan reaches its intended finished dimensions.
