Looking for Free Cardigan pattern

How-to Questions
1

I have been looking for a free cardigan pattern. One with plain, stockinette stitch in the body and ribbing for the bottom edge of the body and bottom of the sleeves. And buttons down the front. Very plain, very simple. It’s almost impossible to find.

Just a PLAIN, regular old cardigan with worsted weight (#4) yarn, stockinette stitch with ribbing for the sleeve edges and bottom borders.

:waah:

HELP!!! Thanks so much for your assistance.

In addition to the links given here’s a few more ideas.

This one is only $1.99 and is a very basic stockinette cardigan.

I forgot Berocco, they’ve got tons of patterns there, although most of them are knit in pieces and seamed together.

She didn’t say so I included it anyway.

If you’re willing to buy one you can get exactly what you want. Knitting Pure and Simple has 3 versions (round neck, v-neck and scoop neck) that are simple stockinette with ribbing.

Here’s the plain round neck for instance -

Lots of places have them. I love their patterns!

Thanks Jan and suzeeq for all those links. I ended up going with a cardigan pattern I found in the Chicks with Sticks book by Nancy Queen.

This cardigan will be for my mom and sooooooo many of the cardigans I saw would not really be for a 70-ish year old woman. At least, in my own mind, I couldn’t see my mom wearing most of them.

I will keep those sites bookmarked, for when my skills start to match up with my “dreams”!!

Thanks, knitcindy
