Tweedy Cardigan – Free Knitting Pattern: Instant PDF Download

Sizes: Women’s S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL

Simple, textured, and easy to knit, the tweedy cardigan pattern relies on nothing more than garter stitch to build a long, collared layer with real substance. It’s an easy/beginner level knitting pattern that’s straightforward enough for a first sweater project, yet the long sleeves and folded collar give it a finished, wardrobe-staple look. Worked in a classic worsted weight yarn and offered across six sizes, this garter stitch pattern is a comfortable, go-to cardigan for cool mornings and layering season.
