Leftovers For Dinner

Leftovers for Dinner knitting pattern by Cassie Castillo.  Cardigan sweater that is a great stash buster!
Leftovers for Dinner knitting pattern by Cassie Castillo.  Cardigan sweater that is a great stash buster!
Ready to de-stash? Its leftovers for dinner! Well, leftovers for this sweater. Use your leftover or random balls of yarn to make a colorful cardigan. I had a steadily growing mountain of yarn and needed to destash ASAP! My solution was to create a pattern that only uses one ball of each color; that way I could useup the leftovers from previous projects and the yarn that I just had to buy but didn’t know what to do with afterwards. The pattern is a big circle with sleeves, and is knit to fit your measurements. It is a very versatile cardigan that can be worn several ways. If you wear it with the wider section at the bottom, it is a swingy cardigan. If you wear it with the wider section at the top, it is a shrug with a big shawl collar.

SIZE
This pattern is knit to fit your desired chest measurement. I used my bust measurement plus 2” of ease. 

MATERIALS
9-10 balls of worsted to bulky weight yarn. Each ball was at least 200 yds, and I used about half of
each ball to make the sample cardigan. This amount of yarn should accommodate up to 46” chest
circumference; larger sizes should add another ball of yarn. 

NEEDLES
1 set US #10/6mm double-point needles
1 16-inch US #10/6mm circular needle
1 40-inch US #10/6mm circular needle

NOTIONS
2 stitch holders
2 stitch markers (to mark the beginning of a round)
tapestry needle to weave in all ends

GAUGE
Gauge is not vital for this pattern, as it is knit to fit your desired measurement.
