New Pattern: Castillo Cardigan
Let me introduce you to the latest Itch to Stitch pattern, the Castillo Cardigan!
For one week (through March 19, 2020), the Castillo Cardigan sewing pattern is 20% off. The volume discount still applies—get 15% off your entire cart if your purchase is $20 or more, or 20% off your entire cart if your purchase is $30 or more!
The Castillo is named after a little down-to-earth village in Costa Rica, El Castillo, by the Arenal Volcano. I visit every once a while because I have friends there. I also hiked through the place multiple times. It’s an idyllic place where you see rolling hills and grazing animals.
The Castillo Cardigan gives me a carefree feeling, the same one I get when I visit El Castillo.
Castillo Cardigan Features:
- Open neckline
- Hood
- Thigh length with side slits
- Long, cuffed raglan sleeves with shoulder darts for a great fit
- Large patch pockets
- Designed for knit fabric
The hood of the Castillo is unlined, but I can see that it can easily be lined (you just have to make a hood out of thin knit lining too, put the two with wrong sides together and proceed as usual).
I think the Castillo is a perfect top layer when I want to dress casually but with style.
My testers also loved the Castillo too. Let’s take a look at them their beautiful creations!
Thank you, my lovely testers! You are always so helpful and I enjoyed the test so much with you all.

I’m getting ready to make the Castillo cardigan, and I’d like to make it with the contrast trim, as some of the pattern testers did. I haven’t been able to find anywhere that says how much trim fabric to buy – can you help?
Thanks,
Sirina
Hi Sirina, the best way to find out is to prepare the pattern first, and lay them on your fabric (or a proxy of the fabric with the same width) to figure out.
I just finished making this from 100% Terry cotton and I love it! It was easy to shorten to a petite size. Instead of the openings at the sides, I created a curved hem. I can see this being a staple in my wardrobe this winter. Thank you for offering this in the large format printing size. This option is a “make or break” deal for me now when buying patterns. Thanks for a great, quick sew!
Love the how this cardigan is simple and fun. What a great wardrobe staple
I really like the look of this cardigan. Does it have an adjustment for a larger bust?
Also, I would like to see it have a version without the hood.
Hi Carole, thank you! There isn’t an adjustment for a larger bust (the cardigan is meant to be worn open). There isn’t a version without the hood. Have a great day!
