Laurie Cardigan

Introducing the Laurie Cardigan - a cozy, stylish addition to your wardrobe that's perfect for any occasion! This comfy cardigan features a simple button closure for ease of wear, while ruched gathering on the shoulders adds an elegant touch that sets it apart from ordinary cardigans.

Designed with a long, relaxed, rolled collar and essential pockets, the Laurie Cardigan is a must-have for every knitting enthusiast. Its versatile design makes it perfectly slouchy yet effortlessly dressable, ensuring you'll reach for this fantastic all-around piece time and time again.

Available in a range of sizes, including XXS (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL), the Laurie Cardigan is tailored to fit bust measurements of 34 (36, 38, 40, 44, 46, 50)”—perfectly accommodating a bust size of 30 (32, 34, 36, 40, 42, 46)” with a generous 4” of ease. The cardigan’s length varies based on size, measuring 26 (26, 27, 27, 28, 28, 28)” for a trendy look.

This beautiful pattern requires varying amounts of yarn based on size; you'll need 9 (9, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13) skeins of Rowan Lima, a luxurious blend of 84% baby alpaca, 8% merino, and 8% nylon (120y/50g). In total, you'll need approximately 1000 (1050, 1100, 1150, 1250, 1350, 1500) yards of worsted weight yarn to complete this project.

For construction, use US size 7 (4.5mm) circular needles for the body and sleeves, with optional double-pointed needles for sleeve detailing. To ensure the perfect fit, make sure to check your gauge: 17 stitches and 24 rows equal 4” in stockinette after blocking. Taking the time to check gauge is essential; adjust your needle size if needed for the best results.
