Make a Cardigan That Actually Fits You
Most sweater patterns leave you guessing on fit. This top-down construction means you can check the fit as you go, before you've committed all your yarn.
Broken rib texture on the body, clean ribbed bands, a subtle lace detail at the back, and a V-neckline that works well on nearly every body. It's put-together without being fussy.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Chest circumference 27–54 in (70–137 cm), designed to be worn with 2–6 in (5–15 cm) of positive ease
- Seven sizes, 2XS through 2XL. Full finished measurements included so you can pick the right size with confidence, not guesswork.
- Top-down construction with no seaming. You work the back, then pick up for each front panel, then join and work down. The order is logical and the fit is adjustable before you commit.
- A cardigan you'll actually reach for. The relaxed silhouette, soft button bands, and lightweight alpaca-blend fabric make this something you'll wear regularly, not just admire.
"Finished this last month and already started a second one in a darker color."
