Oversized Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Make an Oversized Cardigan That Actually Fits

You want a cardigan with real drape and comfort, not something stiff or boxy that fights your body.

     

Built top down with clear checkpoints along the way, so you always know where you stand and never feel lost partway through.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Bust 47¾"–65¼" (121–165.5 cm), Sizes 1–9

• Adjustable body length, so you can knit it cropped or add extra length before you work the buttonholes
• Top-down raglan shaping with minimal seaming, so you can check the fit as you go instead of guessing at the end
• Deep ribbing at the collar, cuffs, and hem for a relaxed shape that holds up over time, not just on day one

       "I knit mine a bit longer than shown and it's the coziest thing in my closet now."
