This cardigan is beautiful on "regular" sized gals and extraordinarily flattering for plus-sized women. Pattern includes custom directions for all sizes from petite to plus. It is knit top down on circular needles but you can easily convert it to a pullover by joining the round.
Cardigan includes shaping where you need it and can be knit from almost any yarn that cables well.
Rivulet features cable shaping, a peplum that looks great on knitters of all sizes and inset panels under the arms that give a charming swing to the finished piece.
The front, neckline and shoulders use garter stitch on all edges for rustic charm, but advanced knitters or cable fans can easily adapt the charts given to make cabled edges. You could also make seed stitch edges or something incorporating your favorite stitch pattern – the pattern is very forgiving.
The upper arms are knit in 1x1 rib, which is exceptionally flattering for plus sizes, not to mention comfortable and flexible.
Modifications are easy.
In the photos above, the knitter made simple yet beautiful changes to the front just by bringing in motifs from elsewhere on the sweater. She changed the front bands to moss stitch and added extra cabling alongside the buttonbands.
