This cozy cardigan can be whipped up VERY quickly using a thicker Bulky CYC 5 yarn (I used Lion Brand Hue + Me) or a Super Bulky CYC 6 yarn (I also made one using Bernat Softee Chunky).

This cardigan can easily be adjusted for length (make it a duster, or make it cropped!) as well as adjustments for sleeve cuff style: fitted or wide. It is meant to be slightly oversized but you can size down for a more fitted look! the garment is designed to have 6 - 10” of positive ease.

Yardage Estimates based on using CYC 5 yarn - if you choose to make a shorter cardigan you will need less:
