Introducing our beautifully textured sweater coat/long cardigan, designed to be the perfect blend of style and comfort! This captivating piece features simple, modern cable designs that elegantly march up the fronts and center back, while the sides and sleeves boast a delightfully squishy texture pattern that is easy to work with. The wide, face-framing collar and generous front bands not only provide exceptional warmth but also elevate the overall style, making it a must-have addition to your wardrobe.

The construction of this stunning sweater coat is achieved from the bottom up, with the sleeves crafted separately in the round up to the underarms. These are then seamlessly joined with the body to create a beautifully integrated yoke, all knitted in one piece. You have the option of adding waist shaping (as featured in our sample) for a more fitted look, or feel free to omit it for a relaxed, looser fit—whatever suits your personal style best!

This knitting pattern is designed for knitters of various skill levels, with both charted and fully written-out directions provided for all cable and texture patterns. This dual approach ensures that everyone, from beginners to advanced knitters, can easily follow along.

Note: The color used in our sample is no longer available, but we’ve made thoughtful substitution suggestions in the Kit Builder below to help you create your own unique version of this cozy cardigan!

Whether you're looking for a stylish layering piece for cooler weather or a cozy off-duty outfit, this textured sweater coat/long cardigan is the perfect project for you. Start knitting today, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating a fashionable and functional garment that you can cherish for years to come!
