Finished Garment Measurements
Choosing Your Size
- Compare your bust circumference (fullest part) to the “Body Measurements” table, choose the size that best fits your bust. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. (see instructions for details)
- If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the top (see instructions for details).
I highly recommend that you check your fit by making a test garment with inexpensive fabric that has a similar stretch, weight and drape as your final garment fabric.
Material
Primary Fabric Use knit fabric with about 25% to 50% horizontal and vertical stretch as well as good recovery. French terry, jersey and sweater knit are good choices. Keep in mind knit fabric with more stretch and drape results in a more relaxed and longer fit, and vice versa. Note that the wrong side of the fabric will be visible when worn, so choose your fabric accordingly.
Interfacing Use light-weight knit or tricot fusible interfacing.
Fabric Requirements
Most natural fibers shrink in the wash; be sure to have enough fabric. The requirements below assume that the fabric is already pre-shrunk.
Imperial/Yards
Metric/cm
Other Material
1/2" or 3/8" (1 cm or 1.25 cm)-wide pre-shrunk twill tape or ribbon in the follow length based on your size:
Note that the twill tape or ribbon will be visible when the cardigan is worn, so choose your twill tape/ribbon accordingly.

Lovely design. I did modify it to have a lined hood, and attached the band in a way which hid the raw edges. I also graded from a 2 at the shoulders to an 8 at the hip, added 2” to the length, and made the cuffs 2” shorter (and the arms commensurately longer). Wearing the resulting cardi right now! Feeling very smug and loving the pockets! Which I also messed with…

This is a perfect feel good long cardigan. It’s easy to turn it into a bath robe too! 😀 I use mine when I feel chilly in the evenings.

Love it! Quick and easy. I’m wearing one now. lol Just wish I knew why the front band wants to fold to the outside (so the serged seam shows) instead of staying flat.

Kennis, I love your patterns. I’m a mature woman, so seeing people my age and size wearing their creations helps. You have been hitting home runs lately, keep up the good work. I love that you are efficient and have thought everything through. Good fabric usage – nothing is wasted.
