Flyaway Cardi

This beautifully designed sweater is meant to gracefully flutter in the wind, making it a perfect addition to your seasonal wardrobe. It features a unique diagonal gather around the waist and is crafted with a very loose gauge for a comfortable, airy fit. The sizing is intentionally generous, allowing for negative ease, or you might prefer the front to overlap for an effortlessly stylish look. Available in a diverse range of sizes, this sweater accommodates bust measurements of 24 – 32 inches (28 – 36, 32 – 40, 36 – 44, 40 – 48, 44 – 52 inches).

When it comes to yarn requirements, the approximate yardage for each size is as follows: 500 (580, 660, 740, 820, 900) yards. Since this sweater is designed to be fairly short, many knitters may prefer to lengthen it, so consider purchasing an extra 100-200 yards of your favorite yarn to achieve the desired look.

This charming sweater is knit from the bottom up, utilizing a technique that involves back and forth knitting. The sleeves are crafted in the round up to the underarm, at which point they join the main body of the sweater. Both components are then worked flat up to the neck, featuring lovely raglan shaping for a flattering fit.

For your convenience, the instructions are meticulously written out line by line. To ensure a perfect fit for every size and accommodate the varying lengths of the diagonal “seam,” each size of this cardigan has been detailed individually. This thoughtful approach allows you to focus solely on the numbers for your size, making the knitting process a true pleasure!

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting your crafting journey, this sweater pattern offers ease and enjoyment in every stitch. Embrace the joy of knitting with this delightful and functional pattern that showcases your personal style while keeping you cozy in any breeze!
