Midsummer Meadow Cardigan
The Midsummer Meadow Cardigan wasn’t a planned design, it was just a fun play with different colours and knitting techniques, mixing them up in unexpected colour-ways and patterns.
I have included a lot of visuals as well for the different techniques.
It’s a very colourful pattern.
Big Thank you to all the reddit knitters for the lovely and supportive comments, and encouragement to make / write up the pattern for this beauty.

It was tested on women’s size 14UK and fits really well.
I have also included notes on how to make the sleeves shorter, and if you want to make it larger or more fitted.
Flat measurements:
From underarm to underarm across the Bust = 23 inches / 58,5 cm
From underarm to waist/hips = 21 inches / 53.4 cm
Shoulder to shoulder = 22 inches / 56 cm
Sleeve from underarm to cuffs = 17 inches / 43,3 cm
This Cardigan is knitted flat in pieces and stitched/sewn together with tapestry needles.
No need for ‘blocking’ or steaming, just loving the organic shape.
