Morginn

This pattern is available to purchase from Ravelry

by Katrin Schneider

Morginn is an everlasting piece of knitwear, the one that feels like home, the one that is cosy to knit. The chunky v-neck cardigan in fisherman’s rib features deep pockets and has a subtle A-line shaping. It is worked back and forth in rows with raglan increases from the top down. While knitting down to the hem, short rows for a longer back are worked, and pockets are added. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up and worked in the round down to the ribbed cuffs. For the front and neck finishing, stitches are picked up along both fronts and along the neck, and a small button and buttonhole band is worked.
