Machine Knit Pattern - Tuck Stitch Cardigan - LK150

Elevate your machine knitting with the Diamond Lady Cardigan! This hip-length cardigan features a stunning tuck stitch pattern on the body panels, perfectly balanced by classic stockinette on the sleeves and collar. Designed specifically for the LK150 using Category 4 yarn (I used "I Love This Yarn"), this piece is as cozy as it is stylish. This tutorial walks you through the construction of the cardigan, which is written for sizes XS through 5X (fitting a 28" to 62" bust). Whether you want to add the optional button closure or keep it as an open-front layer, this project is a fantastic way to practice tuck stitches on your mid-gauge machine.
