The Roosevelt Cardigan was inspired by menswear, but its subtle waist shaping and traveling cables, which emphasize an hourglass shape, lend a feminine touch. Deep front pockets are tucked under patterning for a seamless look. Knitted flat in one piece to the armholes.

Designer Amanda Scheuzger

Errata: The measurements for the hip given on the pattern schematic (on page 98 of the magazine) are incorrect. The correct hip measurements are:

In the book “100 Knits”, page 166: The Left Hem Chart is incorrect. The correct chart would be a mirrored version (The Fall 2014 magazine issue has the correct chart). You can download the correct chart from my website here, or contact me and I will email it.
