One Cardigan Pattern

The One Series is an ongoing design project from The Fibre Co. inspired by the idea of a single garment worn and loved by people of all ages and from all walks of life. One Cardigan continues the series in its timeless raglan design that is for all genders and is offered in an extended range of 15 sizes. The added flexibility of our two-length suggestions allows you to tailor your sweater to your own measurements as you try it on as you knit.
