Materials and accessories for your handmade cardigan
To ensure your cardigan turns out perfectly, you will need:
- Fabric: Sweat, knit, fleece, French terry, or similar soft materials
- Ribbing fabric: Optional for the sleeve cuffs
- Buttons or snap fasteners: 3–6 pieces (e.g., Kam Snaps, anorak snaps, jersey snaps, or similar)
- Interfacing: Optional iron-on interfacing H200 for the button placket
- Sewing supplies: Matching thread and basic sewing tools
These fabrics are suitable for the Oversized Cardigan WEGA
You can also sew the cuffs using ribbing fabric if the main fabric is too inelastic for cuff finishing. Most of the fabrics in our sewing examples were produced by Lebenskleidung. These are organic fabrics (like all fabrics at Lebenskleidung).
