Yesterday, I left off when the Lawson Cardigan knitted with UNIVERSAL YARN Tango, colorway Barrida, was soaked and laid flat to dry to prepare for closing the side and the sleeve seams.

As I mentioned before, I used a crochet hook to crochet together the side seams and the sleeve seams. A crochet slip stitch creates a flat seam even with thick and thin yarn!
Another option is to sew the seams using another yarn, such as a smooth cotton yarn, in a matching color, which will work, but I prefer the crochet option.
Weaving the ends in is the last task on the cardigan, and now it’s finished! I have a colorful transitional knit cardigan to carry me through late summer and fall.

Styling this cardigan will be easy; it will pair well with jeans and casual outfits, but you could wear it over a dress or skirt as well and look great.
And here’s the final look at the finished cardigan on a mannequin, front, back, and side. The yarn is vibrant and colorful and will keep me comfortable without being too warm.

Pick your favorite color from the UNIVERSAL YARN Tango color palette and make your Lawson Cardigan in time for cooler weather!
