Details

About Erin Cardigan
'ERIN is a cozy cardigan, a variation of the Mariza sweater — all softness and simplicity, with no buttons to worry about. It’s worked in faux brioche stitch on the fronts, back, and sleeves. The relaxed fit makes it extra comfortable, while the sleeves, slightly flared at the cuffs, add that little something special. The faux brioche stitch is super easy to knit — perfect for beginners or for those moments when you just want a soothing, relaxing project.' - Cecile Fombeur

Stitches used
Faux Fisherman’s Rib is easier to knit than traditional Fisherman’s Rib, since it doesn’t require working double stitches. It is an ideal stitch for beginners, as it uses only knit and purl stitches. This stitch is also reversible and has the great advantage of not curling.
