This pattern was made using the LK150 mid gauge knitting machine, and can be made on any mid gauge machine. If you would like to make this cardigan on a different gauge machine, you will just need to make sure that the gauge matches.

This comfy cardi is meant to be oversized with about 10” positive ease. If made in the size given, the cardigan will fit loosely. But if you want a very oversized look, then size up. The model is wearing a medium size, and she fits a size small.

The cardigan band is worked in garter stitch using either a garter bar, a knitting needle or waste yarn. If you prefer not to do garter stitch and would prefer a different band, such as ribbing or a folded hem, you are welcome to that instead. The hem and sleeve cuffs are worked in latched ribbing.

Methods used in the pattern are garter stitch rows, latched ribbing, fully fashioned decreases, after thought pockets (optional), and casting on and binding off. All techniques are described in the pattern in detail with pictures and video links.
Pattern includes schematic, written directions, pictures, and video links.
