Learn how to knit a wardrobe classic with the free Easy Street Cardigan pattern and video tutorial by Cozy Nooks Designs, an approachable project built specifically for beginner garment makers. Worked flat from the top down in worsted-weight yarn, this design skips tricky seaming entirely, letting you try it on as you go to test the body and sleeve length in real time.
You begin with basic knit and purl rows to shape the neck, then work clean raglan increases across the yoke before placing the sleeve stitches on hold. From there, you knit straight down to the hem before finishing with classic ribbing along the cuffs, hem, button band, and flattering slim collar. The pattern covers nine sizes from XS to 5X in a timeless, comfortable cut that flatters any body type, making it an easy first garment that you will actually reach for every day. Grab some lovely worsted yarn and your circular needles, then give this seamless beginner cardigan knitting pattern a go. It makes such a classic layering piece that fits just right!
