This pattern is so diverse! Choose any yarn, paired with any needle size!

Follow the charts along the way to find out yardage, and the number of stitches to cast on. It is worked as 2 panels in the ribbing stitch, and then seamed together to make a cardigan that you can wear two ways! The armbands (optional) get picked up and worked after you seam.

MATERIALS
Y A R N
Pick a yarn, and grab some needles! It’s recommended to use needles 2 sizes larger than what the yarn recommends for a nice drape. See sizes on next page.

Knit a 4”x4” swatch in a 2x2 ribbing and use the chart below to figure out how many yards you need based on your gauge. Be sure to block your swatch before you measure!
