What’s one garment in your closet that you consider a summer essential? For me, it’s this boxy & oversized cardigan I can throw on before I head to the beach. The early morning (and later evening) breeze from the ocean is refreshing but can also be a bit chilly. I wanted to design a piece that is no fuss, easy to knit and casual in style. This oversized cardigan easily layers over a tank top for that light layer of coziness when needed. Knit in Lion Brand Mandala Bonus Bundle, there’s no need to weave in additional ends — the colors change seamlessly!

Pattern Designer Information

My name is Vanessa Coscarelli Black and I’m a wife, mom, animal lover and knitwear designer residing in New Jersey. I come from a long line of various makers — tailors, shoemakers, chefs, painters, contractors. Most everyone in my family has some sort of skill that requires their hands (and I think that’s pretty great)! I started my career in finance and while I learned a ton during my time in the corporate environment, I knew that long term, it was not the right career path for me. With 20+ years of knitting/crochet experience under my belt, I slowly transitioned my hobby into my small business and never looked back.

Amazing to make a cardigan out of one ball of yarn

I also appreciate the easy of a button free pattern. This is refined and distinctive

Such a simple pattern for an elegant result

This sweater is easy enough to knit you can do it in front of the tv. Everything is carefully explained. The Kitchener stitch shoulder joins give a seamless look, even if you are not perfect at keeping your tension even. Also the yarn she chose is so very soft. A totally yummy lightweight sweater.

Terrific kit!

I bought this kit to knit a sweater for Christmas 2025. It is such a pretty pattern and I love the self striping yarn, Mandala. I have two more sweaters to knit for this Christmas and then I'm off to knitting for the next year. Can't wait to get started.
