Have you wanted to knit a sweater that actually fits your body? Have you wondered why waist shaping has bulging bits that don't fit your curves? What about knitting a sweater to fit your shoulders and back as well as your bust? All these concerns are addressed in the Victory Cardigan designed by Corinne, The Woolly Thistle owner.
Corinne designed the perfect cardigan (by knitting the prototype 3 times!) and the results speak for themselves! The Victory Cardigan is a comfortable, well fitting cardigan that is a pleasure to wear and boasts a perfect fit.
New to garment knitting, or simply enjoy learing alongside an experienced teacher? The 'Knit the Victory Cardigan' Course was created to accompany the kit, guiding you through each stage of the project so you can knit with confidence!
Your Victory Cardigan Kit includes:
- 9 - 17x balls Rauma Vams (All the yarn needed for your size in your color selection)
- The PDF pattern
- 7 lovely pewter Thistle buttons
- The Woolly Thistle Tote - Large
About the design:
This top down raglan sweater includes a steek. It is very size inclusive and includes instructions for seventeen sizes, 31"- 68” at the upper bust, intended to have 1 - 2” of positive ease. For this pattern we recommend that knitters use their upper bust measurement, measured at your underarms when selecting a size in order to get the best fit. The full list of measurement in the pattern are given below for you to reference when choosing your kit size.
The Victory Cardigan is a great choice for a beginner. The Cardigan does require a steek, which some people find intimidating. We can recommend the 'Knit the Victory Cardigan' Course to walk you through this step and so many others!
