Boxy Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Knit an Effortless, Oversized Boxy Cardigan

You want something you can throw on without thinking, that still looks like you put effort into your outfit. This cardigan is built loose and relaxed on purpose, made to layer over anything from a tank top to a turtleneck.

           

The construction keeps things simple where it counts. No purling in the main body, no fiddly neckline shaping to fight with, just a smooth, steady rhythm from cast on to bind off.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust 39" to 72.5" across 8 sizes (8" to 14" of built-in positive ease)

• A decorative i-cord shoulder seam gives it a finished, boutique-style detail without any extra sewing
• The main stitch pattern skips purling entirely, so the fabric builds up cleanly and stays easy to follow row after row
• Eight sizes with generous ease built in, so you can measure once and feel confident you picked the right one

"This is the cardigan I reach for on every cool morning, it goes with absolutely everything I own."

Materials

• Sport weight yarn (4-ply), wool blend (Romney/Wensleydale or similar)
• 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles
• Stitch markers, removable marker, tapestry needle
• Spare needle or waste yarn for holding stitches
