Cozy Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Make a Cardigan You'll Actually Want to Wear

You have the skills. What you need is a garment pattern that respects that, with construction that flows logically from one section to the next and a result that looks as good on as it does in the photo.

This relaxed, open-front cardigan is worked top-down with lace detailing across the back and sleeves, a clean ribbed front band, and a hem finish that keeps everything looking neat. Three sizes let you dial in the right fit with your preferred ease.

Skill Level: Intermediate 
Finished Size: Bust 160cm/63" (186cm/73.25", 212cm/83.5") with recommended ease of 0 to 80cm/0 to 31.5". Sample shown in Size 1 with 77cm/30" positive ease. An extended length version is available with 8.5cm/3.5" added body length.

• Lace panels on the back and sleeves give the finished piece real visual interest without requiring colorwork or cables
• Top-down, seamless-style construction keeps the process clear at every stage, front pieces are picked up and joined to the back so you always know where you are
• Three sizes with full schematic measurements mean you can check the fit against your own body before you cast on

"I didn't expect a cardigan to be this satisfying to make. The lace section went faster than I thought it would.
