Grey Goose Cardi by Maria Yarley
What is Being Made
The Grey Goose Cardi is an advanced-level knitted cardigan designed as a versatile layering piece. This downloadable knitting pattern by independent designer Maria Yarley offers seven size options ranging from x-small to 3x-large, with finished bust measurements of 30, 34, 38, 42, 46, 50, and 54 inches. The cardigan is constructed to be a fashionable extra layer suitable for both casual and dressy occasions, from pairing with jeans for an afternoon out to layering over a cocktail dress for warmth at winter events.
Techniques Used
This cardigan employs fundamental knitting construction techniques appropriate for advanced knitters. The pattern requires blocking your gauge swatch to ensure accurate finished measurements. The garment is worked using circular needles in the round, a common technique for seamless or nearly seamless cardigan construction. The design incorporates strategic shaping to achieve a flexible fit that flatters multiple body types.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch structure is Stockinette stitch, which creates the smooth, classic fabric base for this cardigan. The pattern specifies a gauge of 22 stitches by 26 rows over 4 inches (10 centimeters) in Stockinette stitch, which is essential for achieving the correct finished garment dimensions.
Materials
Yarn: Berroco Glint in the Whisker colorway is the specified yarn for this project. The yardage required ranges from 1,088 yards (8 balls) for the x-small size up to 2,584 yards (19 balls) for the 3x-large size. Each ball contains 136 yards and weighs 50 grams (1.76 ounces). The yarn composition is 75% cotton and 25% acrylic, providing a breathable blend with subtle sparkle. The inclusion of glitter in the yarn adds a touch of shimmer suitable for dressing up casual or formal outfits.
Needles and Notions: This pattern requires two circular needles in size #6 US (4mm): a 42-inch circular needle for working the body and a 24-inch circular needle for working smaller circumferences such as neckbands or cuffs. Additional supplies include six stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping points, plus a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and seaming if necessary.
