Charlotte in Sochi
As soon as I laid eyes on the vibrant, colorful jackets designed for the official Outfit of the German Olympic Team at Sochi 2014, I knew I had to create a cardigan in those stunning colors. If you share my enthusiasm for eye-catching fashion, this seamless cardigan pattern is just for you! ?
This unique cardigan is crafted entirely without seams, utilizing top-down construction facilitated by the innovative contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers, known as “SusieM” on Ravelry. It ensures a perfect fit and smooth transitions between sleeves and body, making it a delight to knit.
Cardigan Size Specifications:
Choose from a variety of sizes to find your perfect fit:
- Bust/Hip: 73 / 77 / 89 / 97 / 107 cm (29 / 30 / 35 / 38 / 42”)
- Bottom: 81 / 87 / 99 / 107 / 117 cm (32 / 34 / 39 / 42 / 46”)
- Keep in mind there’s approximately 2.5 cm (1”) of negative ease for a snug but comfortable fit.
Yarn Requirements:
To create this beautiful cardigan, you’ll need to use sock yarn held double. Please remember, this will double the amount of yardage required. Here’s what you’ll need for each color:
- Color A (Yellow): 290 (365/410/495/565) yards
- Color B (White): 105 (130/150/175/200) yards
- Color C (Green): 355 (425/485/575/655) yards

You can use Wollmeise DK or, for a more economical option, Tausendschön Sockenwolle (sock yarn) held double. Other suitable yarns can also be used, just be sure they match the gauge and weight for the best results.
