This long cardigan will allow you to be the first to enjoy the fall fashion! Until the weather gets cold for a thick outer jacket, this versatile piece is perfect for a casual or feminine style. The jazznep knit JQ from the Knit JQ series is an easy fabric to handle. Without any patterns and requiring only straight stitching, this will be an ideal project.

We interviewed Anriko about her creation:
Kokka Fabric (KF): What did you think of the fabric you used for this project?
Very delicate and beautiful fabric with nicely knitted stitches. This fabric transforms a simple design into something stylish. Though the knitted stitches are rough, with low tension, it is easier to handle for somebody who is not used to treating a knit material.
KF: Can you tell us any special elements or ideas that you incorporated into this creation?
A long cardigan comes in very handy in early fall before you start wearing a thick heavy outer wear. The long length sometimes adds extra work when creating a pattern, cutting and sewing. So, I came up with something that is easy to make without any patterns and requiring only straight stitching.
KF: What are some tips for making this cardigan?
The sewing process is not that difficult, but cutting may be a little challenging. As this fabric is a Jacquard knit and not a print, it is easy to identify the alignment. Check the pattern on the fabric for an easy cutting.
KF: How should we incorporate this cardigan into one’s styling?
The model’s size is 158cm/9AR. I also made a sample cardigan with a shorter length, and it looks nice and attractive, too. To change the length, just cut the fabric shorter, parallel to the hem. Choose the length that looks good with the bottoms you like to wear.
KF: Thank you very much, Anriko! Here are sewing instructions along with step by step photos from her. Enjoy crafting!
