We Love Yarn, 100% recycled cotton, Yarn weight: light, Color: dark green (15)

Every stitch deserves the right yarn! 🧶 I’ve gathered some of the best yarns and tools in my Amazon shop. Come browse and see what sparks your creativity. 🤎

  • 850 (1050, 1200) g / 30 (37, 42.3) oz
  • 1275 (1575, 1800) m / 1394 (1723, 1969) yd

This is a made-to-measure pattern, so you can use any yarn weight. Adjust your hook size to achieve the specified panel dimensions. Yarn requirements will vary if using a different weight.

Materials

Yarn needle, scissors, measuring tape, and stitch markers.

Hook(s)

  • 4.0 mm

For the yarn I used, the recommended hook size is 5 mm, but I worked with 4 mm to get a denser fabric and tighter construction.
It's a made-to-measure pattern, so you can use any yarn and hook combination. I recommend swatching first to find the fabric hand you prefer.

Gauge

Not critical. You will adjust your stitch count to achieve the specified panel dimensions.

Size Guide

XS/S (M/L, XL/2XL)

To choose your size, measure your bust and find the range that includes your measurement. This cardigan is designed to fit oversized with a wide, cocoon silhouette, so the finished garment will be significantly larger than these body measurements.

  • Bust Circumference: 74-84 (94-104, 115-125) cm / 29-33 (37-41, 45-49) in

The sample shown is size XS/S, worn by me with an 82 cm (32 in) bust measurement and 168 cm (5'6") height.

Finished Measurements

XS/S (M/L, XL/2XL)

  • Panel dimensions before assembly: 115 (125, 135) cm × 115 (125, 135) cm / 45.3 (49.2, 53.1) in × 45.3 (49.2, 53.1) in
  • Armhole opening: 28 (30, 32) cm / 11 (11.8, 12.6) in (or adjust it to your preference)

This is a made-to-measure pattern. You can adjust the panel size to change the cardigan length, and customize the armhole opening size during assembly.

Notes
  • This pattern includes a full video tutorial linked on the front page for steps that are easier to show than tell.
  • You will start by making one large rectangular panel. When done, you will fold the corners and seam both sides, leaving openings for the armholes. Then you will add ribbing around the armholes and the opening of the cardigan.
  • This design is meant to fit oversized with a wide bust. The finished length falls at the knees.
  • The pattern includes instructions for adjusting the cardigan's width, length, and armhole opening, so you can customize the fit beyond the three standard sizes.
