This garter stitch cardigan is designed to showcase all of your fingering weight yarn. Hold two strands together throughout the entire project for the ultimate stash buster. The top-down construction makes the cardigan easy to try on and customize the length as you knit. This pattern is very easy to knit with simple garter stitch and ribbed edges. Dive into your stash and paint with your yarns to create the coziest scrappy cardigan.

Yarn
Fingering weight held double

The marled fabric holding two strands of fingering weight together results in a DK weight gauge

Yardage
Approximately 1900 (2100, 2600, 3100, 3600) (4100, 4600, 5100, 5600)yds / 1737 (1920, 2377, 2835, 3292) (3749, 4206, 4663, 5121)m total

These yardage estimations are overestimated a bit, so you should have more than enough yarn to complete your sweater. I recommend getting a big pile of yarn so you have more than enough color choices to work with as you knit.

The yardage estimations are for the total yarn amount using fingering weight held double.

Errata
26-08-22 - The Left Buttonband measurment was corrected in this new PDF. The bottom left column of Page 9 should read, “Repeat last 2 rows twice more or until ribbing measures approximately 1” / 2.5cm.” This correction is reflected in the new PDF garter_marler_cardigan_3.pdf
