Hello there
So as the title says, I am trying to figure out the magic behind this cardigan! I was scrolling through knitting patterns on Etsy and came across this listing of a premade cardigan that I think is absolutely adorable. Unfortunately I canāt afford to purchase it (and they donāt sell the pattern, but it is listed as handmade), but I do have some yarn and am on a study break for a few months! I would love to try to recreate it, or something similar. This is the cardigan in question.
So upon trying to form some sort of plan, I made some measurements and then began to work on a swatch, using mohair that I already had out and 4mm needles. (Trying to emulate the main body/sleeves of the cardi) I worked a 1x1 rib, and after a few rows, I noticed that the cardigan is nowhere near as textured as my swatch! It looks so flat and subtle, leading me to believe it is not the standard knit/purl rib stitch.
I spent a long time trying to find a rib stitch variation that matches this, but I am really not sure! I would be so grateful for your opinions and suggestions, please share your wisdom!
Is it the type of stitch? Or yarn? Do we think it has been pressed? Is it machine-made? (does that make a difference?) Any other notes that you would add about how you would go about planning this, I would thoroughly appreciate.
Thank you for reading my short novel of a post, and sorry if the answer is something really obvious, I am still a beginner!
