Full and Fabulous: 14 Plus Size Sweaters & Knit Cardigan Pattern Ideas
The experience of knitting has changed drastically over the past fifty years. The Internet has allowed for knitters to share ideas, patterns, and advice with the click of a button. The modern day knitter can easily find a specific pattern or learn a new stitch with a simple search engine inquiry and a couple clicks of the mouse. Video tutorials are commonplace, and forums for knitters to gather as a community have become extremely popular. However, even with all of the technological advances and the seemingly boundless sea of digital information, the fact remains that certain knitting patterns are still hard to find. Specifically, plus size knitting patterns can be extremely hard to come by, and the ones that are available online are few and far between.
Although it's true that every knitting pattern can be adjusted to fit your body, some knitters may not have the confidence or technical skill to modify an existing pattern to suit their needs. That's why at AllFreeKnitting, we've been working hard to accumulate the latest styles and designs for plus size fashion. From slimming knit sweater patterns to curve-flattering knit cardigans, we have a design that will work for you and your body. One of the best parts about knitting is being able to flaunt your finished product, so why wear anything that's less than fabulous?

Plus Size Knit Cardigan Pattern Ideas
Knit cardigan patterns are a great way to add an extra layer to your outfit without adding too much additional bulk. They're also a great way to infuse a little color into your ensemble. Try cinching a longer cardigan at the waist for a slimming effect or stick with a hip-hitting shorter cardigan for a classic year-round, polished look.

This collection is so welcome! I have the trifecta of hard-to-knit-for body types - short, heavy, and full-figured - and always shied away from knitting sweaters, knowing a regular pattern might not look as good on me. These are perfect - thanks!
