Chunky Cable Knit Sweater Knitting Pattern | Crescent Cable Cardigan

The Crescent Cardigan is a drop-shoulder open cardigan with large, chunky cables to keep you extra cozy. The back, front panels, and sleeves are knit flat separately and then seamed together. Stitches are picked up for the ribbed collar.

Size Guide + Finished Measurements
Sizes written in 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) with a finished bust size of 35.5 (41, 46.5, 52, 58) in/ 90 (104, 118, 132, 147) cm. The cardigan has about 4-6 in/10-15 cm of positive ease so pick a sweater size accordingly. For example, if you’re a 36 in/91.5 cm bust, a size 2 would be appropriate for about 5 in/12.5 cm positive ease. Sweater pictured is a size 2 on a 36 in/91.5 cm bust.

Note: Measurements are given for work unstretched and with minimal blocking made with 100% recycled polyester yarn. The cables tend to pull the cardigan together using synthetic yarn. I suggest using synthetic yarn for similar results. Using natural fiber will significantly change gauge, potentially adding 10 in/25.5 cm in width. Therefore, consider going down a size or two if knitting with natural fibers to accommodate the added width and length.

Yarn
Approximately 4 (4, 4, 5, 6) skeins of Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick + Quick (223 yds/204 m per 12oz/340g skein; 100% recycled polyester) or another super bulky weight yarn that meets gauge. Color shown is Whipped Cream.

Needles
Size 8mm (US11) 40 in/100 cm circular knitting needles for collar and sleeve cuff
Size 9mm (US13) 24 in/61 cm or longer circular knitting needles for back and sleeves
Or knitting needles required to obtain correct gauge.

Gauge
1 cable is 8 STS and 16 rows = 3 in/7.5 cm wide and 5 in/12.5 cm long
