BEATIN wrap
Designed by Imke von Nathusius
The BEATIN wrap is a simple little wrap cardigan, featuring some special details and finishing touches. Its unique construction makes it fun to knit: you will work sideways, knitting the left and right side one after the other.
Starting at the center back with a provisional cast-on, you will work the back panel, then add stitches for the front using another provisional cast-on to finish the front in two directions with the wrap panel and the side panel (including the back).
Next, you will work the underarm panels, followed by the sleeve caps, which are shaped with short rows. After all side stitches are put on hold, you will work the sleeve and, finally, join the side seam and the underarm seam using 3-needle bind-off or single crochets. All edges are worked with an I-cord while you are knitting the body and the ties are I-cords as well, creating a neat and clean look.
