Oversized Cable Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Knit a Relaxed Cable Cardigan for Everyday Layering

You want a cable cardigan that feels easy to wear, not snug or stiff.
This one is roomy on purpose, so it slips over a tee or shirt without a second thought.

A full cardigan is a big commitment, so you get built-in try-on points for the body and sleeves. You can check the fit and add length before the ribbing, not after it’s too late.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust 117.5 to 193 cm (11 sizes, to fit bust 75 to 150 cm)

• Fit that’s already worked out: Every size has about 41 to 43 cm of ease built in, so you choose your size by your own bust measurement instead of guessing.
• No seams to sew at the end: The fronts are picked up from the back and the sleeves are picked up from the armholes, so finishing is just weaving in ends and adding buttons.
• Cables from shoulder to cuff: The cable and texture panels carry down the sleeves, with ribbed edges and an Italian bind-off for a clean, polished finish.

      “I was nervous about committing to a whole cardigan, but the try-on points made me trust the fit.”
