Harvey
Harvey the Pooka is the whimsical 6 foot, 3 1/2 inch best friend of Elwood in the timeless 1950 film starring Jimmy Stewart. This charming cardigan, aptly named after Harvey, is an ideal companion to Elwood and is sure to delight knitters of all ages.
Knit from the top down for a seamless finish, the Harvey cardigan features raglan sleeves, a generous shawl collar, and stylish pleated pockets. This combination of elements makes it a perfect match for bringing out the "Little Old Man" spirit in all of us. With sizes ranging from 6 months to adult XL, Harvey is a versatile pattern that can be created for everyone in the family!
The sample showcases a beautifully textured ribbing, which is outlined in the pattern instructions. Additionally, we provide modifications for those who prefer a classic 2x2 rib, offering you the flexibility to customize your project. Whether you're a beginner looking to expand your skills or an experienced knitter searching for a thoughtful gift, the Harvey cardigan will meet your needs.
