Want to come on a sewing Day Trip with Leesa?  Our one-day classes are a perfect opportunity to enjoy a day of sewing to create and learn new skills with like-minded people using your overlocker to create and make!

Citrine is a cardigan designed for knit fabrics. The pattern features unique raglan seams and is finished with wide double-fold bindings for the neck, waist, and cuffs. This comfortable design is quick and easy to sew and is the perfect layering piece to add to your wardrobe. 

We will be making the version with a fitted sleeve, straight waist, and no buttons to allow us plenty of time.  The pattern does come with further options that you can make at a later date - two sleeve styles: fitted or balloon, two waist options: straight or gathered, and optional buttons to help you customize your cardigan. Two front bodice pattern pieces, with and without a dart, are provided to offer fit flexibility for different bust sizes.

The pattern comes in a wide size range. Please see the photos for the sizing charts.

For main garment: Medium weight knit fabrics such as stretch terry, sweater knit, jersey, or rib knit with at least 30% stretch.  For bindings (neckband, waistband, cuffs): Rib knit or sweatshirt ribbing with at least 70% stretch.

Citrine can be made with the same fabric for both the main garment and bindings, or with a contrasting fabric for the bindings. We suggest a solid stable knit and love the cable knit at Spotlight, and there is also a lovely range at Wattle Hill Fabrics.

This Cardi can be made entirely on your overlocker!  If you have done your overlocker course this is a perfect make for you!
