This oversized cardigan is designed with simplicity and comfortability in mind. The body of the cardigan is designed with a straight, wide body with 3/4 sleeve cuffs that fit snugly around the arms, along with pockets for added warmth. The top-down construction makes it easy to adjust the length, and the cardigan (though intended to be oversized) can accommodate a wide range of sizes while providing shelter and warmth throughout the coldest seasons.

This cardigan comes in 4 sizes and is intended to have plenty of ease (+4 inches) when worn.

Gauge in 2x2 rib with US 2 (comfortably stretched):
32 sts + 36 rows = 4 inches

Tapestry needle

I used 4 skeins of Madelinetosh Merino Light in the color Whiskers, but any fingering weight yarn will do.
