The Fancy Cardy/Sweater is a homage to all kids and grown-ups who love(d) to play. It is an oversize fit inspired by big shoulders of the 80s and 90s. I remember my mum had a pullover with that kind of silhouette, which I absolutely loved. The chest measurement may sound extreme, but remember: the front and back drop down over the shoulders too. If you want it tighter, knit a size smaller. But watch out for the chest measurement nonetheless.

The Fancy Cardy/Sweater is knitted in rows, with purls knitted according to the pattern. Whaaat? You nkow, knitting in rows is definitely better than battling your way through four different repeats while doing raglan decreases.

You can vary the design ad infinitum. Short sweater, long sweater, sweater dress, cardy, jacket, dressing gown, maybe even shoulder pads?
