Gambit

Introducing the Gambit Cardi - a Spring wardrobe essential that’s perfect for knitters of all levels! This cardigan features a classic fit with a nod to mid-60s fashion, inspired by The Queen’s Gambit. The sophisticated design elements include stockinette, cable button band, a touch of seed stitch on the collar, button band, cuffs, and hem, as well as tidy i-cord edging for clean lines.

 

Knit top-down flat with no steeking, Gambit Cardi is an engaging beginner-friendly project with enough design elements to keep even seasoned knitters entertained. The chic, slightly structured fit and elbow-length sleeves make it a stylish and infinitely wearable addition to your hand-knit wardrobe.

This cardigan is perfect when paired with a sunny retro minidress or crisp modern separates, and it’s a straightforward knit with lots of personality!

 

Gambit is ideal for the beginner garment knitter for several reasons: it’s knitted in DK weight yarn for a quick project, it’s seamless and worked back and forth, and the unfussy fit offers lots of flexibility. Plus, the basic design elements provide a great opportunity to build your repertoire of stitches. Get started on your Gambit Cardi today!
