Knitted Cardigan Pattern #2 – Arietta Cardigan: This is a sensational cardigan that uses a mosaic pattern. This might look very difficult to knit at first glance because of all the colors used. But you do not have to carry colors across and there is no stranding. The mosaic pattern uses only one color per row and the design is worked in by using slipped stitches. Once you learn this method of knitting, you will want to use it all the time for other projects like afghans, pillows, and other clothing. So, even if you don’t care for this particular sweater, use the pattern to learn how to create the mosaic pattern.
