Healing Crystal Cardigan — Easy, Effortless, Stunning The Healing Crystal Cardigan is proof that simple knitting can produce the most beautiful results. An easy-to-knit, easy-to-wear edge-to-edge cardigan in stocking stitch with relaxed drop shoulders — the self-striping yarn does all the work, running continuously across each front piece for a seamless, striking stripe effect that looks anything but beginner-level. Pattern Notes Garter stitch trim allows the stripes to flow uninterrupted across the fronts, while the hem and slightly ballooned sleeves finish in a classic one-by-one rib. The relaxed drop shoulder construction keeps the knitting straightforward and the result wonderfully wearable. A perfect first cardigan — or a beautifully simple project for more experienced knitters who want a satisfying, low-stress make. Recommended Yarn — DMC Brio XL We recommend knitting this pattern in DMC Brio XL, available at The Wool Shop. A chunky weight yarn with a beautiful self-striping effect, each ball is 100g / 155m — perfect for achieving the continuous stripe flow this cardigan is designed around.
