Pattern Details

The Fernwood Cardigan is a comfortably oversized sweater with a deep v-neckline and raglan shaping. It is worked from the top down in super bulky yarn and a wonderfully textured double moss stitch. With an extra long body, roomy sleeves, and patch pockets, this cardigan is the perfect layer to cozy up in.

Yarn Substitutions
I’ve posted a list of alternative yarns which I swatched multi-stranded in preparation for our knit-along, see the complete list here.

Yardage Calculations
To assist in calculating yardage for yarn substitutions I created a calculator (you’ll need a scale and enough yarn to make a swatch). I’ve posted it here for others to use.
