Cardi PDF Sewing Pattern

Cardi

I’m so excited to say that we are creating cardigans. Cardigans are versatile pieces that can be worn all year round, making them an essential part of any wardrobe. This cardi has set in sleeves with a loose fitted body. The edges are finished with rib knit and 3 buttons down center front. Plus. it has pockets! What makes this pattern even more exciting are the pattern hacks that come along with it. You'll learn how to transform your cardigan into a dress, a bolero, a duster, and even a vest. The possibilities are endless, and you'll have so much fun exploring all the different variations you can create with this pattern.

Pattern sizing

This pattern comes in sizes XS-6X and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that.

Printing the pattern

When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.

Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.

This file is full color layered PDF so you can print just your size or a few sizes for grading your pattern. 

You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.
