Edina Women's Deep Rib Jumper & Cardigan by Sarah Hatton – Pattern Summary

The Edina Women's Deep Rib Jumper & Cardigan is a knitting pattern designed by Sarah Hatton and published by West Yorkshire Spinners. This pattern offers two classic, wearable designs in one downloadable PDF: a pullover jumper and a cardigan, both featuring a striking deep rib texture that gives them a relaxed yet structured look. Rated as intermediate in skill level, this pattern is ideal for knitters who are comfortable with basic shaping and are ready to work with textured stitch patterns across multiple pieces.

About the Two Designs

The Edina Jumper

The jumper version of Edina is a classic women's pullover worked in a deep rib stitch pattern that runs throughout the body and sleeves, creating a beautifully tactile, stretchy fabric with excellent drape and definition. The silhouette is relaxed and comfortable, making it a versatile wardrobe staple that works equally well for casual and smart-casual occasions. The jumper is shown knitted in West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Aran in the shade Kettlester (1148).

The Edina Cardigan

The cardigan version shares the same deep rib construction and overall silhouette as the jumper but opens at the front, finished with a neat border worked on a circular needle. This border gives the front edges a clean, professional finish. The cardigan is shown in West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Aran in the shade Delting (1149), a complementary colourway that highlights the depth and texture of the rib pattern beautifully.

Sizes and Fit

Both designs are available in an impressive nine sizes, designed to fit chest measurements ranging from 28/30 in (71/76 cm) up to 60/62 in (152/158 cm). The actual finished garment measurements range from 91 cm (36 in) to 171 cm (67¼ in), offering generous positive ease for a comfortable, relaxed fit. Full length ranges from 58 cm to 71 cm depending on size, and sleeve length ranges from 43 cm to 49 cm, making this a well-proportioned design across the full size range. This wide size inclusivity makes the Edina pattern an excellent choice for a broad range of knitters.

Stitches and Techniques Used

The Edina pattern makes use of a focused set of knitting stitches and techniques that are well within reach of an intermediate knitter:

• Deep rib stitch – the signature texture of both garments, creating a bold, vertical ribbed fabric with excellent elasticity and visual interest
• Stocking stitch – used as the base fabric for tension measurement and likely in structural sections of the garment
• Shaping techniques – including increases and decreases to shape the armholes, sleeves, and neckline across multiple sizes
• Circular needle knitting – used specifically for the cardigan's front border to create a smooth, continuous band
• Stitch markers – used in the cardigan construction to keep track of pattern repeats and shaping points

Materials Required

Yarn

Both designs use West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Aran, a premium aran weight yarn. This is a 100g ball yarn, and the quantities required vary by size and design:

• Jumper in Kettlester (1148): 5 to 11 x 100g balls depending on size
• Cardigan in Delting (1149): 5 to 11 x 100g balls depending on size

West Yorkshire Spinners The Croft Aran is a yarn with a strong sense of heritage and character, well-suited to textured stitch patterns like the deep rib used throughout Edina. Its stitch definition makes the ribbing stand out beautifully, and its weight gives the finished garments a satisfying, substantial feel.
