I grew up in a coastal town in New Zealand, surrounded by fishing enthusiasts and spending summer days being pummeled by the breakers of the vast Pacific ocean.

Now I live on the edge of a Swedish fjord, where the water is calmer, and I spend summer days swimming in the warm shallows with my two kids.

The ripples on water are like the phases of my life, radiating ever further from their starting point, all the way from one side of the world to the other.

Those ripples inspired my Ripple Cardigan design, a transitional garment for cooler spring days or summer nights (because Swedish summer nights are not like NZ summer nights).

Ripple is a top-down seamless cardigan generated to your own measurements and gauge! When you order this pattern on Kniterator.com, you customize it to your own measurements, and enter the gauge information that you get with your yarn. The pattern is then generated accordingly for a perfect fitting garment.

Knit it in fine merino for a lovely drape, or something chunkier for a more cosy heavyweight cardigan. The cardigan hangs open as designed, but you can easily extend the neckline band to accommodate a pin closure.

Yardage will depend on your size and the yarn that you choose. Purchasers of the pattern can get yardage advice by emailing Kniterator support.

Note that this pattern is not purchased as a PDF here on Ravelry - you need to follow the link below and go to kniterator.com so you can customize it before you buy!
