I self drafted a TTPD inspired cardigan! As promised I’m releasing my charts and pattern notes for my size for free - I hope this helps you knit your own Poets Cardigan!

I knit this to 44” in body circumference. For me it fits with 6” of ease on a 38” bust.

This cardigan is pretty challenging - I highly recommend reading through it before starting and watching my video explanation too. It requires reading cable charts, knitting multiple different cables in each row, cabling at different rates, decreasing that moves placement, increasing, and seaming with mattress stitch. All pieces are knit flat and seamed.

I used 12 balls KFO Heavy Merino in Pearl Grey.
Buttons are 1 inch.

Cables are knit from chart, all other explanations in text.
