Inspired by the quintessential Irish Fisherman sweater, this cardigan has modern proportions for both men and women. Double seed stitch sets off the twisted rib cables; seaming gives structure to the easy fit of the sweater.

Pattern includes 1-st selvedges at each seamed edge. These
sts are included in the schematic measurements for blocking
purposes, but not in the finished chest/bust measurements
above.
Pattern has options to make either a men’s or women’s
cardigan. The women’s version is shorter through the lower
body and sleeves, with slightly narrower collar.
Where [Sl1 wyif, k1] appears in square brackets, this indicates
the selvedge sts of the open front edge.
Choose a size with 4–10″ positive ease.
PLEASE NOTE:
The women’s version of the cardigan has buttonholes on the
opposite side than the men’s version, so for the women’s
version work the left front first. For the men’s version, work
the right front first.
Sample is men’s version on 5’ 11” models.
We would love to see your completed project.
