Craft: Knitting
A modern riff on the grandfather sweater, this simple cardigan moves easily from work day to weekend. We’ve added flattering A-line shaping and a vented hem for relaxed ease with a tidy finish. In cozy wools or cool plant fibers, it’s a perfect layering piece or polished tunic.
Yarn
Choose a DK-weight yarn that typically knits at 22 sts to 4”/10cm.
Approx. 1200 (1350, 1475, 1600, 1750) yds/1100 (1250, 1350, 1470, 1580)m.

Shown in size S on 36”/91.5cm bust, in Classic Elite Soft Linen Color 2203 (light grey); 137 yds/125m per skein.

Needles & notions

US 4 (3.5mm) 24”/60cm circular needle, or 2 US sizes/.5mm smaller than gauge needle.
2 ring markers;
10 locking markers;
4 stitch holders (we like to use extra circular needles, in gauge size or smaller, so we can knit off holders from either end);

needle and thread.
Gauge
20 sts/32 rows = 4”/10cm in stockinette stitch on larger needle, after blocking.
Sizes
This cardigan is designed with approx. 4–6” of ease, but because the shoulder is dropped slightly, it’s a little more forgiving in the fit. You can choose a size that will fit more closely or more oversized.
