The Gigi Cardigan (as seen in Inside Crochet) is a cropped, drop-sleeve granny jumper designed to make you smile each time you wear it! With super dramatic balloon sleeves and a cuffed hem, this cardigan has both a modern and flattering fit. This pattern was created to be a stash-busting project so every colour under the sun will work! Whether you choose a cohesive colour scheme or a total colour-splosion (like me), it’ll be the happiest jumper around.

It is an intermediate pattern, but I encourage confident beginners to have a go!

Bust sizes given as XS (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X): 101 (114, 127, 131, 143, 152, 160, 165, 169) cm requiring 933 (958, 1032, 1185, 1213, 1292, 1372, 1463, 1543) metres of YARN A and 599 (630, 725, 725, 929, 1008, 1048, 1048, 1111) metres for the squares.
