Seawall Cardigan

The Seawall Cardigan, designed by Winter’s Weather Knits, is a versatile and cozy addition to any wardrobe, inspired by the serene experience of walking along Vancouver’s seawall. The second I heard the name, I thought of walks with my family along the seawall and knew this sweater could be a cozy way to enjoy it in the spring and fall. Its minimalist design emphasizes comfort and subtle details, making it a timeless piece for various occasions.

Pattern Name: Seawall Cardigan
Designer: Winter’s Weather Knits
Craft: Knitting
Project Type: Sweater – Cardigan

Design and Construction

This cardigan is crafted seamlessly from the top down, featuring raglan sleeves and a V-neckline. The body is worked flat, while the sleeves are knit in the round, minimizing the need for seaming. Short rows are utilized to shape the shoulders, and the hem and cuffs are finished with a ribbed edging. An optional crocheted edging can be added to the front bands for a polished look.

Sizing

The pattern includes nine sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL) {2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL}, accommodating bust circumferences from 41 inches (104 cm) to 75 inches (190.5 cm). It is designed with 12 to 14 inches (30.5 to 35.5 cm) of positive ease, resulting in a relaxed, oversized fit. Knitters can select a size based on their desired level of ease and fit preferences.

I love a size inclusive pattern!

Materials and Yarn

The recommended yarn is Garnstudio DROPS Wish, a super bulky weight yarn composed of 50% alpaca, 33% cotton, and 17% wool. The yardage required varies by size, ranging from approximately 679 yards (621 meters) for the smallest size to 1,638 yards (1,498 meters) for the largest. The pattern suggests using US 10½ (6.5 mm) and US 11 (8.0 mm) needles to achieve the specified gauge of 12 stitches and 17 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
