Sewing the Seeds is a stockinette, drop shoulder cardigan with seed stitch details down the sides, shoulder and sleeves. The combination creates a simple but elegant garment that is perfect for those chilly fall days! The gentle V-neck of the front collar frames the body in the best way giving this cardigan a more streamlined look. This effect makes it suitable to wear with both casual and dressier outfits.

The pattern comes with directions for sizes S - 4XL, which accommodates bust sizes 26 - 59 with 10” - 13” of positive ease. This gives you a wide range of options when choosing the perfect size for you. You can size up and get an oversized cardigan that is just that much cozier, or you can choose to size down and make a lovely form fitting cardigan that goes great with slimmer outfits. You can also easily make the cardigan longer by adding rows. I chose to make the small with about 8” of positive ease. I wanted oversized, but not too much. However, some of my testers decided to go SUPER oversized with 14”-16” and they look AWESOME.

The sample cardigan is knit with Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca yarn. This yarn is a aran weight 4 yarn. You can use any weight 4 yarn with this cardigan as long as you meet gauge.
I hope you love this cardigan as much as I do!

Files include a printer friendly version with limited pictures. With this file you can choose to only print the pages with the directions on them cutting down on the amount of ink you have to use to print the pattern.

Thank you to my testers:
Sandra, Wren, Kat, and Larissa
