Cardigan pattern PERLA – your new favorite project
With the PERLA cardigan pattern, you can add a real feel-good piece to your wardrobe. PERLA is ideal for beginners and features a cut that flatters not only smaller sizes but also women with a fuller figure. The button placket follows the cut perfectly, adapts optimally to your curves, and is very easy to sew.
Perfect for sweatshirt and knit fabrics
PERLA reaches its full potential with soft materials such as sweatshirt, fleece, double fleece, French terry, knit, or woven fabrics. You can optionally use ribbing fabric for the sleeve cuffs. Thanks to the clean lines of the cut, your fabric will look particularly beautiful – ideal for plain designs or bold patterns.
Two sleeve options, two lengths – for more variety
With PERLA, you have a choice: sew the sleeves with a classic hem or with sporty sleeve cuffs, and choose between two cut lengths. This flexibility makes the cardigan a versatile companion for every season. The optional pockets add a practical and stylish touch to your project.
Detailed, illustrated instructions for a relaxed sewing process
Even if you have just started sewing and want to sew a classic cardigan, PERLA is the perfect project. The detailed, illustrated sewing instructions guide you step by step through the entire process – making sewing fun.

Let's go: your DIY cardigan is waiting
Grab your pattern and fabric, choose your favorite version, and you can get started. With PERLA, you will not only sew a cozy cardigan but also have a lot of fun being creative.
You can also sew the cuffs from ribbing fabric if the main fabric is too inelastic for cuff processing. Most of the fabrics in our sewing examples were made by Fabrilogy. They are organic fabrics (like all fabrics from Fabrilogy).
