The “Happy Inside/Outside Cardigan” is my latest pattern, made using Stone Washed XXL yarn! It is knitted on 8mm needles, so it works up incredibly fast. You knit it from the bottom up in one continuous piece—spanning the full width—which ensures the stripes flow beautifully. It is a simple pattern, easy to follow, perfect even for beginners, especially if you knit it in a single color. The possibilities are endless. The pattern is available in four sizes: S, M, L, and XL.

This cardigan uses five different shades of Stone Washed yarn; feel free to get creative and choose your own beautiful color combination, make it in a single color, or stick to the original design.

I named it the “Inside/Outside Cardigan” because it is the perfect cozy piece for lounging at home. You can easily wear it outdoors on cooler spring or autumn days, yet it is also wonderfully cozy for indoors—keeping you so warm that you might even be able to turn the heating down a notch or delay switching it on altogether. It’s a truly practical and delightful cardigan.

If you like this cardigan and want to make one yourself, you can purchase the pattern in my Etsy or Ravelry store; it is available in both English and Dutch.
I would love to see your color combinations!
