Christy is a versatile knit cardigan that combines an oversized aesthetic with thoughtful shaping. Its extra long sleeves create a striking contrast with the fitted body hitting at the high hip, resulting in a modern silhouette.

This design features bluff patch pockets, a distinctive V-shaped detail at the bottom front hem and bands in self-fabric for polished finishes, even without a coverstitch machine.

With its blend of comfort, versatility, and style, the Christy Cardigan is an elevated wardrobe staple, whether dressed up or down.

Samples are all sewn in merino wool sweater knit and other synthetic options. For this pattern, I recommend mid-weight sweater knit fabric with some body and drape in cotton, wool or synthetic blends. Matching or contrasting rib knit can be used for the bottom, front and sleeve bands.

I wear the beige merino wool in size 34 with shortened sleeves. Pauline wears her brown Christy in size 46 (of the 34-46 range) with the sleeve bands lengthened. Lilli wears a grey one in size 52 with no alterations.

Sizing

I draft and grade my sewing patterns for a height of 5’5” (1.65m) from size 34 to 60 (see below). When applicable, the size range is divided between 34-46, developed for B/C cup size, and 46-60, developed for a DD cup size.

If your body measurements are at least one size outside of the size range, I grade up or down at no cost.

See the sizing page for more information.
