against the measurements (cm/in) given

HOW TO MAKE YOUR
TRUTH HURTS CARDIGAN
Your cardigan is made in five pieces, a
back, two fronts and two sleeves. You will
knit each piece before knitting your neck
trims and waist ties. You will then sew
everything together.
RIGHT FRONT
1 Using 3.5mm (US4) circular knitting
needles, cast on 104 [114:128:142] sts
using the long-tail cast on technique.
2 Starting with a k st, work in 1x1 rib to
the end of the row.
3 Yb, sl1kw, yf. Starting with a p st,
work in 1x1 rib to the end of the row.
4 Rep steps 2 and 3 until your piece
measures 9.5cm/3.7’’ from the cast on
edge (approx. a further 26 rows). You
must work an even number of rows.
5 Repeat step 2 once more.
6 Yb, sl1kw, yf. Starting with a p st,
work 3 sts in 1x1 rib.
Now slip these 4 sts just worked onto
a scrap piece of yarn using a sewing
needle with a length of spare yarn and
passing it through each of the sts on
your right knitting needle. Once you
have gone through all of the sts, you
can remove your right knitting needle
from your work, without losing any sts!
You will come back to these sts later
ENG
to finish your front neck trim.
Starting with a k st, work the
remaining sts on your left needle in
1x1 rib. Work this row loosely.

9 Repeat steps 7 and 8 until your piece
measures 49cm/19.3’’ [50cm/19.7’’:
62cm/24.4’’: 64cm/25.2’’] (approx. a
further 147 [150:186:192 rows).
10 Cast off in ribbing.
You will now knit your waist ties.
11 Using 3.5mm (US4) circular knitting
needles, cast on 8 stitches using the
long-tail cast on technique.
12 Work in 1x1 rib until your piece
measures 72cm/28.3’’ [75cm/29.5’’:
80cm/31.5’’: 85cm/33.5’’] from
the cast on edge (approx. 216
[225:240:255] rows).
13 Cast off in ribbing.
14 Repeat step 11.
15 Work in 1x1 rib until your piece
measures 32cm/12.6’’ [35cm/13.8’’:
40cm/15.7’’: 45cm/17.7’’] from

back piece, with the wrong sides
touching. Thread your sewing needle
with a strand of yarn and use the
horizontal invisible seam technique to
sew the shoulders together. Repeat for
the left front.

Now you will seam the front trims to
the body, starting with your right front
piece.
18 Thread your sewing needle with a
strand of yarn and starting at the point
where your hem rib finishes and the
chevron lace pattern begins, use the
vertical invisible seam technique to
sew the trim to the right front piece,
working up towards the shoulder
seam. Then continuing around the
back neck, use the perpendicular

TOP TIP: As the tension for your
chevron lace pattern and your rib are
different you will need to adjust the
vertical and perpendicular invisible
seam techniques to accommodate.
As a guide, insert your needle under
every two horizontal bars on your
chevron lace side and under every
three bars on your rib side. Once
you reach the back neck, as a guide,
insert your needle under every st on
your back neck edge and under every

YARN OVER
Ø Online video tutorial
Bring the yarn to the front of your work by
bringing it between the two needles. Next
return the yarn to the back of the work by
bringing it over the right needle.
RIGHT-LEANING DECREASE
Ø Online video tutorial
Instead of knitting only one stitch at a time,
knit two stitches together. Insert the front
of your right needle through the first two
stitches on the left needle, then knit them
together as a single stitch.
RIGHT-LEANING PURL DECREASE
Ø Online video tutorial
To make a right-leaning purl decrease, you
purl two stitches together through the back
of the loops. Holding the yarn ready to work
a purl stitch, insert the right needle into the
back of the second stitch on the left needle,
from left to right (behind the left needle).
Then continue by inserting the needle into
the first stitch as well (from left to right as
before). The right needle is now parallel to
the left needle, with the right needle behind

the left, and both needle tips pointing in
the same direction. Wrap the yarn and
complete the stitch as for a normal purl
stitch.
LEFT-LEANING DECREASE
Ø Online video tutorial
Insert the right needle into the next stitch
on the left needle knit-wise (from left to
right) and slip the stitch onto the right
needle without knitting it. Slip the next
stitch in the same way. Now insert the left
needle through both these stitches, in front
of the right needle, from left to right. Wrap
the yarn as for a normal knit stitch and pull
the yarn through both loops at once.

To slip knit-wise: Hold the yarn at the back
of the work (away from you) and insert the
needle knit-wise, and slip the stitch onto
the right needle without knitting it.
INCREASING
Ø Online video tutorial
Make a new stitch by inserting the left
needle from front to back under the strand
of yarn between the last stitch worked and
the next stitch to be worked, and lifting this
loop onto the needle. Now insert the right
needle into the back of this loop from right
to left, then wrap the yarn and pull through
as for a knit stitch.
To increase purl-wise, insert the needle from

ADDING A NEW BALL OF YARN
Ø Online video tutorial
When your ball of yarn runs out, or when
you need to change the colour, tie a loose
knot on to the tail with the new ball of yarn
and slide it up to the needle. Tighten the
knot. Continue knitting with the new yarn.
CASTING OFF
Ø Online video tutorial
To complete your project, you need to cast
off your last row of stitches in order to make
an edge that won’t unravel. For your final
row, knit the first two stitches. Using the
tip of the left needle, lift the first stitch up
and over the second stitch and then slip it
off the right needle. Now you have only one
stitch on your right needle. Knit the next
stitch from the left needle, then lift the
previous stitch over it and off the needle as
before. Do this with each stitch until there
are no stitches on the left needle and just
one stitch on the right needle. Cut the yarn,
leaving a 15 cm/6’’ end. Pull on the last
loop until the ends pops through - you’ve
now secured the last stitch.
PICKING UP STITCHES
Ø Online video tutorial
To pick up stitches along a cast off edge,
insert the right needle through the first cast
HOW TO MAKE YOUR TRUTH HURTS CARDIGAN 45
 off stitch from front to back, taking care to
catch both of the vertical yarn ‘loops’ at the
top of the stitch. Wrap the yarn around the
needle and pull through as for a normal knit
stitch. Now do the same for the next stitch
along the edge.

To pick up stitches along the side edge of

your knitting, insert the right needle through
the first edge stitch from front to back.
Wrap the yarn around the needle and pull
through as for a normal knit stitch. Now do
the same for the next stitch along the edge,
one row above or below.

Sometimes it is necessary to pick up

more or fewer stitches than the number of
stitches along your edge - to do this, you
can pick up two new stitches through the
same stitch, or not pick up through all your
stitches. The second stitch will look like a
yarn over. When you work back along these
stitches, work the second stitch through the
back of the stitch

CASTING OFF IN RIBBING

Ø Online video tutorial
To create a stretchy edge, cast off in
ribbing. To do this, knit one stitch, then purl
one stitch. Use the tip of the left needle to
lift the first stitch over the last one, and off
the needle. Knit the next stitch, and lift the
previous stitch over it and off the needle.
Purl the next stitch, and lift the previous
stitch over it and off the needle. Repeat the
last two stitches, so that you
are alternating between knit and purl
stitches as you cast off.

FINISHING
TECHNIQUES
VERTICAL INVISIBLE SEAM
Ø Online video tutorial
This technique is used to join the side edges
of two pieces. Place the two knitted pieces
side by side with the right sides up. Insert
your sewing needle under the first horizontal
bar between the first two stitches on the
edge you want to join. Pull the yarn through
and insert the needle through the opposite
horizontal bar on the other piece. Sew back
and forth through the horizontal bars along PERPENDICULAR INVISIBLE
the edge. To tighten the stitches, pull the SEAM
yarn gently – and they will disappear. Ø Online video tutorial
Align the pieces to be seamed side-by-side
with the two pieces at right angles to each
other. Insert the knitter's sewing needle
through the vertical 'V' on the piece where
you are joining a cast on or cast off edge, and
then through the horizontal bar on the piece
where you are joining a side edge. Repeat
this and pull the yarn so that the two peices
join together. You will see that you have more
rows to sew that stitches. To compensate for
this, insert the needle under two horizontal
bars on the side edge at the same time every
thrid stitch.
HORIZONTAL INVISIBLE SEAM
Ø Online video tutorial
This technique is used for sewing together
horizontal edges (like cast on and cast off
edges). Align the two edges so that they are
lined up stitch by stitch. Insert the sewing
needle under a V stitch and then under
the corresponding V stitch on the other
side. Continue in this way until the seam is
complete.

 WEAVING IN THE ENDS
Ø Online video tutorial
Weave the ends of your yarn into your
knitting to finish it off and stop it from
unravelling. Thread the tail onto the sewing
needle. Weave the yarn along the edge of
your knitting as shown in the illustration.
Where you have started a new ball, weave
one tail in one direction and the other
tail in the opposite direction. Weave in
approximately 10 cm/4”, then cut the tail.
