Sizes given are finished dimensions. You’ll need 6 (6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11) skeins of recommended yarn in MC, plus small amounts of CC, to knit the different sizes. Shown in colors “Navy” (MC) and “White” (CC).

This preppy cardigan features thin stripes on the hem and sleeves, and a cable-like texture pattern on the front. The deep V neckline is flattering to many figure types, and the waist shaping (once more, worked on the back only) keeps the cardigan from being too boxy. Patch pockets are a fun addition, but can be eliminated if you don’t like them.
