The Grandpa Cardigan Pattern comes in eleven sizes from age 1 to age 111. It is a unisex pattern (for men’s sizes, I suggest you size up one size).

Size 1 and 2 require dk/8ply weight yarn instead of Aran/10ply weight. Any fibre will work well for this pattern as long as it is the correct weight.

This cardigan is designed to be long and comfortable, and the pockets are a favourite feature. Sleeves cuffs can be worn folded up or down for extra warmth with thumb holes if you choose to add them.

I’ve included helpful photos for each section of the pattern and have a video tutorial for the pockets and sleeve sewing on my IGTV @littlegoldennook

See some of my tester’s photos for ways you can have fun with this pattern. If you love bobble stitch though, I suggest you go for my Rainfall Cardigan instead!
