Looking for a top that’s as versatile as your spring plans? We’ve got you covered with this darling cardigan, designed to work double duty in your wardrobe! 🌸

Two looks, one sweater:

  • Wear the buttons in the back for a sweet, sophisticated look paired with high-waisted trousers.
  • Flip the buttons to the front and layer it over your favorite summer dress for a relaxed, effortlessly chic vibe.

The best part? You can knit it to be either cropped or full length, depending on your style. It’s worked from the bottom up, and the details – from the comfy cotton-wool blend to the playful button band – make it an absolute treat to create and wear.

Size Inclusive! 🧶 With sizing from 32” to 71” chest circumference, this top is designed to be worn with 4-8” of positive ease. The pattern includes everything from shaping the shoulders with short rows to picking up stitches for sleeves & button bands. Craft it in any of the 11 sizes to suit your perfect fit!

What you’ll learn:
This top is not only a joy to wear but also an exciting project to knit! You’ll get to indulge in some fun and useful techniques along the way, including:

  • Tubular Cast On & Bind Off (optional)
  • Working with 2 colors (only one per row, thanks to slipping stitches)
  • German Short Rows for beautifully shaped shoulders
  • 3-Needle Bind Off for seamless shoulder finishes
  • One-Row Buttonholes for a polished finish

And, of course, you’ll master the art of picking up stitches and slipping stitches for a texture-rich, eye-catching pattern!

Yarn Love: Struggling to find the right summer-friendly yarn? We’ve got just the thing – a 70% cotton / 30% wool blend from Knitting for Olive. This blend is soft, cool, and has just enough elasticity to keep your hands (and heart) happy! 😍

What you’ll need:

  • Fingering weight yarn in 2 contrasting colors
  • Circular needles (US 3 for the main fabric, US 1 for ribbing)
  • Buttons, stitch markers, and other handy notions

Sizes & Yardage: Whether you're making the cropped version or full length, this top has easy-to-follow guidelines for yarn requirements. Plus, the pattern offers plenty of room for customization and modifications to make it truly yours!

So, whether you’re heading on a summer getaway or relaxing at home, this cardigan is sure to become a favorite! Knit it in your choice of colors and make it uniquely yours while mastering new skills along the way.

Cheers to summer crafting and all the cozy knits ahead!
