Notes from the Designer:

The Great Garter Bomber is a stylish and modern, DK weight, top-down knit. It features a cropped design, which may be altered to preference, and a squishy, folded collar. Thick edging complements the boxy design of this knit, and large buttons or toggles add flare. This simple cardigan is a must for all styles and wardrobes! Dress it up, dress it down, but be sure to have one in your closet.

  • This pattern will be available on our website only for a limited time.
  • Read through the entire pattern before beginning.
  • Knit a gauge swatch flat using US 8 (5 mm) needles in garter stitch before beginning for an accurate fit. Block swatch to accurately measure. Move up or down a needle size or change yarn if necessary.
  • If having difficulty meeting exact gauge, match stitch gauge and make up the difference in measurement, as they are listed in the pattern.
  • If using a different fiber for this top, please keep in mind the drape and fit may differ.
  • Try on the garment to ensure fit as you go.
  • Wet block garment before wearing.
  • YouTube or Google unknown skills.
  • Add a removable place marker to the right side of the garment to keep track of RS/WS, as garter stitch will be tricky to identify sides.
  • For a more fitted cardigan, knit a size down than recommended. For a looser fitted cardigan, knit up a size than recommended.
  • To add or subtract length to the cardigan, knit to 3” (8 cm) above desired length from the underarm.
  • Please contact Amanda Lee of Lovely by Lee directly with any questions that you may have about the pattern: lovelybylee@gmail.com.
