Courie In

"Courie in" is a charming Scottish phrase that translates to "snuggle up," making it the perfect name for this luxurious oversized wrap front cardigan. Designed to be a real winter warmer, this cardigan is ideal for curling up with a steaming mug of cocoa on those chilly days. Not only is it incredibly cozy, but it’s also a quick and enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels! This cardigan features a unique construction method that sets it apart from traditional patterns: the sleeves are knitted first, starting from the cuff and working towards the center back. Once both sleeves are joined seamlessly using a three needle bind-off technique, stitches are picked up from armpit to armpit along the bottom edge to create the back. Additionally, stitches are picked up around the front to develop the charming garter stitch wrap front.

In this updated version of the pattern, we’re excited to include comprehensive instructions for nine different sizes, accommodating bust measurements ranging from 26” to 60”. Plus, you'll find options for three-quarter length sleeves and a shorter body, allowing you to tailor the cardigan to your personal style and preferences. Yarn requirements: We recommend using Cloudborn Fibers Superwash Merino Bulky in a beautiful Heather Grey. Depending on your size choice, you will need 5 (6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18) skeins, equating to approximately 530 (654, 763, 981, 1090, 1308, 1526, 1635, 1880) yards of yarn.

This striking wrap front cardigan is not just about warmth; it embodies comfort and style, making it a must-have for your winter wardrobe. By combining fashion with function, you can enjoy versatility whether you’re dressing up for a cozy night in or layering for an outing.
