I originally reverse-engineered this pattern for Raveler Istya, who saw the original Scrapbook Cardi at White Stuff and then posted in the Patterns thread looking for similar sweaters. The photo is Istya’s, added with her permission.

Sweater description from White Stuff website: “This chunky medium knit cardigan has pretty coconut buttons and cap sleeves. It looks perfect with light denim for casual summer look.”
100% Cotton
Machine Washable
Size 12: high shoulder neck point to hem is approx 59cm (23 ¼”)

White Stuff’s size guide for size UK size 12:
37” (93 cm) bust
29” (73 cm) waist
40” (101) hip

I’m not affiliated in any way with White Stuff. Any errors in this pattern are mine.

I only wrote the pattern in the size shown in the picture, which is a UK size 12. If you are interested in making it in another size or gauge, let me know. I will gladly help with number recalculation on a time-available basis based on your washed gauge swatch.

Please note: the yardage is an estimate.
I used Belarus -- a cardigan that is similar in style and calls for bulky yarn -- as a starting point, and added an extra 10% for the overlap in the front. If anyone makes this, please PM me and let me know if you had extra yarn or needed more, and I’ll adjust the pattern accordingly.

As I said in the pattern, if anyone notices any errors, please let me know so I can correct them. Happy knitting!
