Seasons Cardigan - Knitting Pattern

When I was designing the Seasons Cardigan I couldn’t help but think about the different seasons in life that we all go through. The ebb and flow of new beginnings, constants, and endings. I wanted this cardigan to be worn a multitude of ways each season and a comfort in each season in life as well. A warm hug to get you through a tough day, throwing it on over a plain outfit to have that extra bit of cozy, and the one that becomes your favorite cardigan to wear simply because of the seasons it has lived. Giving life to your knits is something I have found so comforting, so rewarding, and you should be proud of each stitch created.

The Seasons Cardigan is a vintage inspired cardigan with a classic stitch design. It is worked top down and closed in the front with 4 buttons. The button band is worked simultaneously with the rest of the body which means less finishing work. The Seasons Cardigan is a cropped design that works well with any wardrobe.

Sizing

The Seasons Cardigan has around 4”/10 cm of positive ease built into the pattern. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) correspond to a bust circumference of around 30 (34) 38 (42) 46 (50)”/76 (87) 97 (107) 117 (127) cm (the final size of garment will be an additional 4”/10 cm). Please measure your bust circumference before you start. The cropped length is optional. If you do prefer a longer cardigan, be sure to purchase extra yarn. If you would like this cardigan oversized, I would recommend going up a size.
