Main Fabric -Your fabric for this pattern needs to be a stretch/knit fabric. It can be any weight; however, best results and fit will be achieved with a light or medium weight fabric.
  • Your fabric needs to be at least 40% stretch to fit as designed.
  • The stretch recovery is just as important as the stretch percentage. Good recovery will ensure your cardie maintains its fit and shape longer without becoming baggy.
  • Both 4-way and 2-way stretch fabric will work well. A fabric with 4-way stretch will give more drape than a 2-way stretch. It will also swing and swish more along the 'waterfall' style front edge.
  • Light to medium weight stretch fabrics such as jersey, silk satin with elastine, and silk jersey with elastine will give a lovely drape and swing.
  • Warmer and heavier fabrics such as sweater knits, hacci knits, stretch wool, and interlock will give a snugger, cozy look with less drape.
  • The other property to consider is how open the weave is. A tight weave such as jersey will give a more solid look than a more open weave such as a stretch wool or some sweater knits which can look more like a knitted garment.

    This pattern is such a cutie! I love how simple it is, and the front draping is just lovely. I look forward to playing with the ruffle on another version down the road, and maybe even adding some cuffs!

  21. Cordelia Henderson –

    This sweater was so easy and quick to sew! It is lovely!! 🙂

  22. Chris Shapiro –

    The Circle Cardi Pattern is fun and different design on a cardi. Because it is a circle there is no back seam if you cut it on the fold which makes for a clean view on the back. With two lengths and options for bands you’ll get many different versions for any occasion. A nice pattern for the confident beginner or anyone who is looking for a graceful cardigan to use a layering piece.

  23. Debra R –

    I love this pattern. I love the two different lengths and sleeve lengths. This is a must for every wardrobe. Happy Sewing!

  24. Becky Petty –

    I love the circle cardie and see it quickly becoming a staple in my family’s wardrobe. It is such a beautiful and versatile garment! The collar might have been a bit tricky to sew but the instructions really put me at ease and I sailed through it. I wish I hadn’t put it off! I’m off to make another 🙂

  25. Kelly Nicholas –

    I LOVE this pattern. I honestly did not need another sweater cardigan heading into warmer weather but the sleeveless option made, paired with a lace mesh, made this the perfect pattern for a bathing suit cover up! From print to completion was less than 2 hours with a Toddler assisting. I love the option of the ruffles.

  26. Keeley Jones –

    I cannot get over how much I love this pattern! It manages to get easier each time I make it! Perfect layering piece for my closet

  27. Marie Biswell –

    This top was so easy to make and super comfy. I love it and haven’t taken it off since I put it on when I finished it!!

  28. Jeannie Fisher –

    I absolutely loved this pattern! It was a quick sew and very practical piece! I find it very versatile!

  29. Casey Bray –

    Quick and easy make with a pretty satisfying result! Went together with ease and perfect for the upcoming winter, as well as layering through the seasons.

  30. Danielle Arthur –

    What a simple but effective sew! I made sleeveless and didn’t even hem due to having such beautifully draping fabric that would not fray and sewing it up was done in less than 1/2 an hour. I can’t wait to make a sleeved one when the weather cools down here!

  31. Shannon Tunks –

    This was my second ever knit sew and it was super easy to put together! Rebecca’s patterns have such clear and easy to follow instructions that it really made this pattern a quick and easy sew. Loving it matched with these Pippa pants as well!

  32. Anna Metcalf –

    It was a quick and easy sew, with a cute final garment!

  33. Kayla Kissane –

    The circle cardi has the perfect amount of fullness for a cardi! First time making a circle cardi, and the instructions were very easy to follow

  34. Andreia de Almeida –

    I made this cardi as a christmas gift. As I don’t have the actual measurements of the person I as giving it too, I had to roughly guess and I thought this pattern would allow a lot of room. And it did 🙂 I made it in a wool knit, no band and, instead of hemming, I just did a rolled hem on my overlocker. I love it so much that I will make more (for myself!). The instructions are clear and the pattern is easy enough for a beginner, A fun and quick sew too for an experienced sewist.

  37. Cara Girven –

    The Circle Cardie is a quick, fun sew that offers so many options, it’s sure to be a pattern you come back to again and again! By using different fabrics and mixing up the cardigan length, sleeve length, and finishing options, you can use this pattern for a casual or dressy look. I love being able to get different looks and uses out of the same pattern! The pattern itself is very clearly written and easy to follow. Love it!
