Adult Cardigans
"Bell Lace Cardigan" This lace pattern looks much more complicated than it really is! Worked in one piece up to the underarms, it has a single closure either with a button (as shown) or with ribbon ties. Wear it over a tank top when just a bit of a sweater is needed. Lace instructions are charted. Sizes: XS (S, M, L, 1X, 2X). All sizes are approximately 23" in length, finished chest measurement: 35 (38.5, 42, 45.5, 49, 52.5)". Level of experience: Intermediate.
"Crosswinds Sky" An easy stockinette stitch cardigan with a great rib is the perfect summertime (or anytime) project. This sweater is worked in a cotton blend, but could really be done with any fiber that meets the required gauge. Sleeves which reach just beyond the elbows makes it comfortable as well as cool. Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL), finished chest measurement: 36 (40, 44, 48, 52)". Level of experience: Advanced Beginner.
"Emily Raglan" This basic raglan cardigan has a zip front, and corrugated rib trim. The rest of the sweater is worked in easy stockinette stitch. It is designed to be close fitting, so work the size you want based on the finished measurements. Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL), finished chest measurement: 34 (38, 42, 46, 50)". Level of experience: Easy.
"Striped Elegance" Everyone needs a colorful basic cardigan in their closet. This was made using Noro's Kuryeon wool, which gives the great colorful stripes. It has a very subtle seed stitch cuff, collar and hem pattern, and more than a few buttons! If you do not want this many buttons, simply work every other buttonhole. Instructions are included for making yarn buttons. Sizes: S (M, L, XL), finished chest measurement: 36 (40, 44, 48)". Level of experience: Advanced Beginner.
