Tric, an A-line shaped cardigan with strong and simple lines, is knitted in one piece from the centre back collar down to the hem, collar, front bands and all. The top has a tailored fit with (top-down-in-the-round) set-in sleeves, while the body is flatteringly flared by a rib triangle in back.

The technique is new – Åsa’s Top-Down Ziggurat Tricnique (inspired by Tuulia’s Tailored Sweater Method but knitted in one go).

This Tricnique features also in my Koronki and Tricsi patterns, now with some improvements and tweaks.

Step-by-step instructions and a photo tutorial, guide you through the unusual beginning, a bit of zigging, zagging, and zipping back and forth before you’re off and sooner at the hem than you’d thought.

You can visit the Tric thread in the Åsa Tricosa Group for suggestions, asking questions, and showing off.
