I basically live in a cardigan all the time when I’m at home (I even call it my housecoat), but after months of wearing the same storebought sweater every day I’m thinking about knitting myself a few more so I can have some on rotation.
The Common Ground cardigan by Elizabeth Smith is a nice elevated basic. It’s worked from the top down with a Garter Stitch yoke and Stockinette body with a little bit of lace and an optional hood.
The pattern comes in nine sizes and calls for Cascade Yarns Ecological Wool
, which comes in huge skeins. For an everyday around the house version I might use superwash wool. Or not.
You can get the pattern on Ravelry for $7.
