An easy-to-wear, oversized cardigan with pockets for your phone, glasses and keys, this sweater is quick to knit and is sure to become a long lasting favorite.

Sweater is meant to have 2-4” of positive ease. For a larger or smaller sweater, increase or decrease in increments of 4 sts overall based on individual size requirements, still allowing for 2-4” of ease. To get the best results, a gauge swatch is recommended.

The pattern is written bottom up, but the body may be knit in one piece rather that in 3 pieces by casing on double the number of back stitches at the beginning. I used the 3 piece method for more structure to support the pockets.

Because the pattern is written from my project notes, there may be a few rough spots, but if you’ve been knitting for a while, you should have not problem figuring out the E&Os. If you get stuck please feel free to message me through Ravelry.
