Karst

Karst is a bulky-weight cardigan knit top-down and seamlessly with a hybrid saddle-raglan construction that varies increase rates to give a better fit through the shoulders. Baby-cabled ribbing (which requires no actual cabling) trims the edges. The fronts are curved slightly with decreases. The collar is picked up and knitted on.

Skills required:

Long-tail cast-on

Backwards-loop cast-on

Picking up stitches

Increasing

Decreasing

Grafting stitches (just a few!)

Sample was knit in the Sycamore colorway and is shown modeled with 3 inches of positive ease. Test-knit ease ranged from zero to 4 inches - choose the amount of ease that you want but be sure to check the other measurements given in the schematic as well. The given bust measurement is with a very slight overlap of the front edges.
