The Knit Guru

Yeah, this is the most insane thing I have made in a while …. but, it does make my Labubu look like she has it all together…. There is a video to accompany this pattern – which will help you to see the construction, and will have further explanation.

The interactive version of this pattern is found here on Ribblr.

You will need:
– 4ply (fingering weight) yarn
– 2.5mm knitting needles
– cable needle
– darning needle
– scissors

Cast off

Stitch the front sides to the shoulders on the back panel.
Pick up the stitches around the front of the cardigan, including the neck stitches placed on hold earlier. Knit 2 rows in a 1×1 rib (knit 1, purl 1), then cast off in pattern.
Pick up the stitches around the arm holes (one at a time). Knit 4 rows in a 1×1 rib pattern, cast off.
Fold the cardigan as shown in the video, and stitch up the sides and arms.

Darn in your ends. You now have a Labubu cable cardigan.
