Cropped V-Neck Button Cardigan PDF Sewing Pattern

Prepared after purchase. Digital delivery within 1 business day. A neat V opening and a short fitted body give this planned knit cardigan its quiet outline. Three buttons close the front, while plain sleeve and body hems keep the finish light.

A fitted knit layer with a button front

• V neckline with a narrow continuous neckline and front band
• Three-button center-front opening
• Waist-length body shaped through the side seams
• Set-in long slim sleeves with plain turned hems
• Simple high rear neckline and a smooth, uninterrupted back
• No separate ribbed waistband, rib cuffs, pockets or hood

Sage front and back previews show the same cut. Deep berry is an alternative fabric color within this single pattern. The ivory tank and charcoal trousers are styling only and are not included.

Fabric and sewing

An opaque medium-weight sweater knit or soft stable knit with dependable recovery is the starting point. Test stretch, recovery and buttonhole stability on the actual fabric. A very loose knit can grow along the front opening, while a bulky knit can make the narrow band and folded hems heavy. This is a sewing pattern for knitted fabric, not hand-knitting instructions.

The English guide will address supporting the shoulder seams, stabilizing the button area, joining the front band and sewing flexible hems. Preparation must balance bust and waist ease with the chosen knit and the layer worn underneath. Check reach, elbow movement and front gaping in a complete fitting sample before deciding button spacing.

For a longer relaxed layer with dropped shoulders and no fastening, compare the open-front blanket cardigan. Explore other knit sewing projects.
