Preston is a design built directly into CustomFit, which means that each Preston pattern is written specifically to your choice of gauge and size.

This simple open cardigan features deep edgings that use a clever slip-stitch pattern that looks like ribbing, but requires no purling. Worn close-fitting with hourglass shaping, it’s a lovely layering piece that dresses up nicely for office wear, and makes a plain outfit something special. Wear it over a shift dress, or a simple fitted shell with wide legged pants or an a-line skirt.

It’s desired to be worn open, but a shawl pin or other type of closure would look super at the waist, and enhance beautiful curves.

As shown, it’s been modelled with a close fit. Wear it looser - an average or relaxed it - with a straight body, for a more casual, snuggly everyday cardigan; perfect for throwing on over jeans and a favorite t-shirt.

(One quick note on yardage in CustomFit patterns - the yardage requirements listed here are based on my preferred gauge for the recommended yarn. And while I’ve given approximate quantities for standard size sweaters, CustomFit will make your pattern in the size and gauge of your choice. It’s pretty tough to give yardage requirements for any possible combination! If you’re not using the recommended yarn, and/or you’re not a standard size, I recommend Hannah Fettig’s amazing app, stashbot, to get a sense of your yardage requirements.)
