Quilted Cardigan is the sister pattern to the Quilted Pullover. The quilted pullover started out as a challenge I created for myself to see if I could create a sweater using the beautiful yarn Advent Calendars I have purchased and loved. Each yarn is so beautiful and this design lets each one shine! I was thrilled when this sweater began to take shape, I knew I would love it and am happy I am able to make something I love from the beautiful Advents I will continue to purchase.

MATERIALS
Yarn:
Suburban Stitcher Sock Yarn: 75% superwash merino 25% nylon
90 yards per skein (24 skeins)
Color used: Pink Advent 2023
Contrasting Hem: Any fingering weight yarn

Needles (suggested size):
US 3 3.25 mm in 16” 40 cm and 24” 60cm lengths for collar, cuffs and hem.
US 4 3.5 mm in 16” 40 cm or 24” 60 cm lengths. There will only ever be 26 - 44 sts on the needle at one time, choose the length that you are comfortable knitting with.

Gauge:
25 sts and 34 rows over 4” 10 cm after blocking with larger needle. Please take time to block your swatch to ensure you have enough yarn for your project.

Notions:
Stitch markers, darning needle, barber cords (or scrap yarn) for holding stitches

Yardage:
Yardage is estimated and may vary depending on yarn used, fiber content of yarn and any modifications to the original pattern (such as texture work or lace). You will need about 175 yds 160 m of a contrasting color for the button band, hem and cuffs.

Sizes:
This cardigan is designed to be oversized and worn with 10 - 15” of positive ease.

1, 2, 3, 4
Finished circumference at bust:
40 (50, 60, 70)”
102 (127, 152, 178) cm

NOTE: pattern has been tested for 57” size, I’m almost sure you will have enough yarn in a single advent for the size 70”, but if you fall short use any fingering weight stash yarn to make up the difference.
