Maggie Cardigan - PetiteKnit knitting pattern

The Maggie Cardigan is worked from the top down. First, the upper back is worked with increases. Then, the shoulder sections are made from increased stitches on the upper back. Stitches are picked up along the shoulders, and the remaining yoke and body are knitted in rows on circular needles. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop method. Finally, bands are knitted along the front edges and around the neckline.

First, knit a gauge swatch to determine the correct needle size for you. Wash the swatch before measuring it.

Size guide
