This is a top-down stockinette jumper with a 1x1 ribbed hem, neckline and cuffs, all finished with a rolled edge detail. Knitters can choose in this pattern to follow instructions for a back piece shaped with German short rows, or just for neckline shaping. Both necklines feature a wide increase point for an added detail. There are also options for a wide or tapered sleeve, as well as ‘cropped’ or ‘full length’ body lengths.
In the version without short rows, the back is cast on and knitted down to the under arm depth. Stitches are then picked up along either shoulder and worked up and over the shoulder point, then down to the under arm point on the front with the neckline shaped by decreases and increases, and stitches cast on at the front neckline. The pieces are connected in the round with stitches cast on under the arm, and knitted in the round to the bottom hem. The sleeves are picked up later and knitted completely in the round.
In the version with short rows, the back is cast on and shaped with short rows, then knitted down to the under arm depth. Stitches are then picked up along either shoulder and worked down the front while increases shape the neckline, and some stitches cast on for the front neck. This joined front piece is knitted down to the under arm. The pieces are connected in the round with stitches cast on under the arm, and knitted in the round to the bottom hem. The sleeves are picked up later and knitted completely in the round.

This raglan cardigan is knit top-down, casting on at the neckline and knitting a portion of German short rows, then continuing to increase out at 4 points until the yoke depth is completed. Different to a standard raglan in which knitters would usually increase on each point every other row to extend the yoke, this pattern has been graded in a way that all sizes follow one of 3 different increase rates. This helps combat a lot of fit issues commonly encountered in raglan patterns which create very deep armholes on larger sizes. The yoke and body portion are knit back and forth in stockinette stitch, with sleeve stitches being put on hold, and then the button bands are picked up on either side of the front opening. The neck ribbing is picked up after the button bands have been completed. Lastly, sleeve stitches are taken off hold and are knit in the round.
This cardigan is the ideal simple piece that depending on your yarn and colour choice can fill a hole in your capsule wardrobe. You can wear it buttoned up, layered over a cosy long sleeve top and under a thick coat in the winter, or wear it open over a lovely lightweight dress in the summer - the styling options are endless!

This cropped crew neck cardigan is knit in stockinette stitch with a 2 row stripe repeat. It features a large ribbed waist section, as well as cuffs, with a double knit button band. The stripes continue across all ribbed and double knit sections for a continuous look.
The cardigan is knit top down with a European shoulder construction. Stitches are cast on along the back shoulder, and a portion of German short rows are knitted, then the back is knitted flat until the under arm depth is reached. The front shoulders are then picked up and knitted flat while shaping the neck line until the under arm depth is reached, and then the front and back sections are connected with extra stitches cast on under the arms. The rest of the body is knit flat, with a stockinette portion until the under bust is reached, and then a large portion of rib around the waist.
Stitches are picked up along the front edge and a double knit button band is added, continuing the 2 row stripe pattern. The collar is then picked up and knitted above the button band. The sleeves are picked up and knitted in the rounds, with decreases to shape them into a tapered sleeve, with a long ribbed cuff.
All sections are knitted in 2 row stripes and some parts of the pattern are colour coded to show this visually

Yarn estimations:
Please note these estimations are made for holding one strand of Drops Soft Tweed as C1 and one strand of Baa Ram Ewe Donegal Twists DK as C2, with no modifications to the pattern and with a cropped finish. Yarn quantities may vary depending on any substitutions or changes to the pattern by the knitter
You may choose to purchase a small amount of extra yarn to account for weaving ends, starting new balls etc. OR if you don't want a cropped look
C1 - Drops Soft Tweed 50g per 130m
C2 - Baa Ram Ewe Donegal Twists DK 100g per 270m

This deep v neck jumper is knit in all over stockinette, with folded over ridged edge details along all seams and rib sections. The piece has an oversized, boxy fit and features 2 x 2 ribbed trims.
The jumper is knit top-down with a drop shoulder construction, casting on the back shoulder and knitting a portion of German short rows, then knitting down in back and forth stockinette until the under arm depth is reached. Stitches are picked up along the shoulders and knitted forward with another portion of German short rows to shape the front, and then increases are worked to shape the ‘v’ until the under arm depth is reached. Once both fronts are finished stitches are casted on at the under arm and the body is worked flat the whole way round for a few rows until the neckline is fully formed, then it is connected and worked in the round until the bottom of the body. Stitches are picked up for the neckline and knitted in 2x2 rib, then the sleeves are picked up and fully knitted in the round while being shaped by decreases to create a tapered look.
The technique to create the ‘ridged’ seams / trims is the same throughout the whole piece.

This granny square jacket is constructed by making a set amount of squares and sewing them together to make the main body and sleeves portion of the garment. A ribbed hem is then added along the bottom edge, and ribbed button bands either side of the main opening along the centre front. Lastly, a ribbed folded collar is added around the neckline. There are options for two different sleeve widths and also for either crochet or knitted rib (this is purely aesthetic and does not impact the sizing of the garment).
There is intended to be 12 inches of positive ease. For busts smaller than 36 there will be more positive ease. For busts larger than 52 inches there will be less positive ease. This may seem like a lot, but the intention for the garment is to be more of a jacket than a cardigan. Depending on how oversized you want the finished garment, you can choose a different size to what is recommended for you.
Sizes: A (B) C (D) E (F) G (H) I (J)
Recommended bust (inches): <36 (36-38) 38-40 (40-42) 43-44 (44-46) 46-50 (50-52) 52-54 (54+)
Finished garment bust measurement (inches): 48 (50) 52 (54) 56 (58) 62 (64) 66 (68)
Yarn: This pattern requires a DK weight yarn. Please note that different fibres will react differently when wet blocking, washing and also over time. The samples shown in the photos of this pattern use different fibres, so please feel free to experiment with whatever yarn you like as long as you hit gauge!
Yarn amount requirements will also vary depending on the sleeve width and ribbing you decide to make. Please note if you are unsure on how much to buy it is often best to have a little extra to ensure you do not have to buy yarn from different dye lots.
One sample was crocheted using DK acrylic scraps, while the other was one strand of Drops Alpaca held with one strand Drops Kid Silk Mohair.
