Inspired by vintage menswear, a sand stitch V neck cardigan with spiffy elbow patches, set in pockets, and contrasting edging.

Sand stitch creates a nice “waffle” texture, and double strands make this one extra warm.

Yarn colors used in the pattern are Electro Green and Cactus.

In addition to the needles above, size 2 circular needles are recommended for the front edging.

7/8” buttons (18mm) are needed: 4 for sizes XS-M, 5 for L-3X.

Pattern is written to fit actual bust sizes:

XS (30-32), S (32-34), M (36-38), L (40-42), 1X (44-46), 2X (48-50), 3X (52-54) inches, or 80 (86, 95, 107, 117, 124, 135) cm.

Pattern includes full written instructions for all sizes.
