If you're looking for a project that's both stylish and cozy, a zig-zag model women's cardigan is a great choice. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the steps to create a trendy zig-zag cardigan that will keep you warm and fashionable all season long.

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to knit your own zig-zag model women's cardigan:

Step 1: Cast On

Cast on 150 stitches using your size 8 knitting needles.

Step 2: Knit the First Row

Knit across the first row, purling the last stitch.

Step 3: Create the Pattern

For the next row, follow this pattern:

Knit 5 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches.

Knit 3 stitches, *purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, repeat from * to last 8 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 3 stitches.

Knit 2 stitches, *purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, repeat from * to last 7 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 2 stitches.

Knit 1 stitch, *purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, repeat from * to last 6 stitches, purl 5 stitches, knit 1 stitch.

*Purl 5 stitches, knit 5 stitches, repeat from * to end of row.

Knit across the row.

Repeat these six rows until your cardigan reaches your desired length. We recommend knitting for at least 24 inches to create a cardigan that falls mid-thigh.

Step 4: Bind Off

Once you've reached your desired length, bind off all stitches and weave in the ends using your tapestry needle.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

To complete your zig-zag model women's cardigan, sew the sides together, leaving room for your arms. You can also add buttons or other embellishments to make it your own.

With these simple steps, you can knit a zig-zag model women's cardigan that's both stylish and comfortable. Wear it with pride knowing you made it yourself!
