Evergreen Shawl Cardigan

Embrace the art of cozy knitting with our oversized cardigan pattern, crafted from the bottom up with no seaming required. This comprehensive pattern is available in nine sizes: XS, S, M, (L, 1X, 2X), 3X, 4X, and 5X, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. Designed for ultimate comfort and style, this sweater allows you to pick your size based on the larger of your hip or bust measurements, providing a tailored yet relaxed fit. You can also refer to the DIMENSIONS section on the final page for the full width of the body of the cardigan, which encompasses both the front and back, including the collar.

Featuring 7”-9” of positive ease, this cardigan is ideal for those who love a generously oversized look. If you prefer a more fitted silhouette, feel free to size down! The body length and armhole depth are adjustable, giving you the freedom to customize your piece. Simply pick up more or fewer stitches for the sleeves and collar to achieve your desired fit.

This pattern is beginner-friendly and will enhance your knitting skills with essential techniques including the three-needle bind-off, picking up stitches for the collar and sleeves, and mastering short rows. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this project is sure to bring joy and satisfaction.

For the best results, we recommend using We Are Knitters The Petite Wool, paired with sizes 9/5.5mm and 10.5/6.5mm knitting needles, or any sizes required to obtain your desired gauge.
