Instant Digital Knitting Pattern Download

Practical details make this cardigan stand out — neat button bands, optional lined pockets, and a sturdy collar that sits well whether worn open or buttoned against the cold. The shape is generous without being oversized, offering comfortable ease across the bust and shoulders while maintaining a clean silhouette. Worked in pieces and seamed for strength, the jacket is designed to last, with finishing details that reward careful workmanship.

Knitted in a true wool-rich bulky yarn, it has all the qualities knitters look for in a hardworking winter garment: warmth, structure, and durability. The body is worked flat in simple seeded texture panels, with deep borders that give the finished piece a tailored yet casual feel.

Because it uses a standard gauge for chunky/bulky wool, knitters have the freedom to substitute with many modern yarns. A pure wool or wool-rich blend will give the best result, holding the stitch definition of the seed texture while producing a jacket that is warm and resilient. With its classic styling and straightforward construction, this project is suitable for knitters looking for a satisfying larger piece that will see plenty of wear for years to come.

A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.
