I used this pattern to make a nurse jacket for my niece. I hacked a tiny bit by adding pockect, because nurses need pockets(in pink leopard print)! Also cut into the back and add a fold to create more moving space. She loved the first one so much I made 2 more. The fabrics I used where a purple ponte and one out of grey linnen(didn't had to change a thing to the hacked pattern) This is a beautiful drafted pattern, easy to work with, clear instructions. Like the quality I've gotten used to from Cashmerette by now. I will never stop loving this company!

Using the tutorial on the blog of how to adapt this into a sweater, I went a bit further and hacked it into a raglan t-shirt. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love it. The fit is beautiful (as I knew it would be) and I have a few more of these planned. Thank you Cashmerette for another big win!
J
Great pattern, perfect fit. I got lazy and didn’t even put the buttons/buttonholes because I used a cable knit and figured it was too bulky to fiddle with them.
H
This is a great project and easy to see, I made view B but lengthened by 2 inches. Lovely to wear closed as a jumper or open as a cardigan. Definitely recommend and will be making more
L
Made the longer version of the cardigan but omitted the buttons. (and buttonholes!) It came together quickly and fits nicely!

I always look longingly at cashmere cardigans in stores, but I have a hard time finding the right size... they are either too big or too tight. But with the confidence I have gained from all the masterclasses I have access to at Cashmerette Club and the Fuller pattern, I finally sewed myself a cardigan that I love using a cashmere-effect double knit that I had been saving for this purpose for a long time. A big plus in my wardrobe because I can now use my summer dresses with my Fuller cardigan for fall and winter. Thank you Cashmerette!

I have steered clear of raglen sleeves in the past as I am just not that fond of them but decided to give the fuller cardigan a go. I made it out of quite thick jersey (hence why I'm calling it a jacket) I have to say that the raglen sleeves are really very flattering and I'm am getting lots of compliments every time I wear it. I have many more of these planned in the future.

I've just been asked to write a review of the Fuller Cardigan. Funny that! I'm wearing it right now. I love this cardigan. I made it with a Mind The Maker Knit and I made the longer version. I haven't even sewn the bottonholes but will be doing that soon. I just am wearing it all the time. The instructions are very clear and the arms are not short at all (which is one of the problems I have with a lots of patterns).The corners are mitered very nicely and I know that I can used that same formula on other patterns. This was my first Cashmerette pattern and I will be looking to see what else they have to make.

The pattern is an easy make, instructions are easy to understand. I love this pattern 😍 ♥ I will make it again

I made a toile which didn’t work out. I’m sure I picked the right measurements and size, but there was somehow too much ease. I also need to make narrow shoulder adjustment but this is my own fault. Overall the instructions are great and I love the design!

I love a great cardigan! The instructions are complete and easy to follow. A great staple in my memade wardrobe. My only comments for improvement is the v-neck style, pulls a lot on the top button (guess that is why we don't see photos of that version done up) - I made the front piece one size larger than that rest of the pieces so it's a better ease.
K
The pattern gets five stars, but not my final product, which isn't the pattern's fault! The pattern is beautifully drafted, the instructions are clear, and the sew-along makes it so easy. What I learned for my next Fuller: use the online size calculator --when I used it for the Washington Dress, it suggested a higher cup size and lower overall bust size, so the Washington bodice fit perfectly. Also, my muslin fabric was too different from my garment fabric (cheap heavy double knit vs. expensive sweater knit) so it was hard to predict the fit. For the cropped Fuller, I found the neckline a little low to wear with many shirts, and the sleeves a little full. I used a fairly firm sweater knit, and I think it would look better with a drapier sweater knit. But I'll be making more Fullers with these modifications in mind. These patterns are a joy to work with.

So far I’ve made two v-necks in a lightweight hacci sweater knit. Next up is a view B neckline on the longer view A length in a little heavier knit. Cashmerette patterns are so well drafted, with excellent directions. And with a me-made, it’s easy to customize little things like shortening sleeves so they don’t hang to my knuckles. If you’re looking for a basic cardigan to dress up your separates, this is a great choice.

I am very new to PDF patterns from Independent designer companies (like about 3 monrhs) . As I am a bit curvy I have always had a love hate relationship with all patterns...
I tried this and the fit is great.....I made ZERO changes. I was so impressed I got 4 more patterns and can honestly say Cashmerette know their craft. Try it you will not be disappointed as I have made 5 already.....

Needs pockets, dart combined with raglan sleeve just not attractive, I made the cardigan but it ended in the good will pile bacause the raglan sleeve and dart combo just did not suit me.
K
Cardigans are something I always wanted in my wardrobe, but I couldn't find ones that fit property. I love the fit of this cardigan and have my second one ready to cut. Instructions are easy to follow. I made my first with ponte, which is great for the office. My second is from interlock for a more casual topper to my Upton dresses.

Ayelet shows us her “patchwork” fuller cardigan that she made into a raglan sleeved pullover. I decided to try it and VOILA, I have a wonderful t-shirt that is different than the Concord (which I live in). I like the option of the raglan sleeve to make contrasting sleeves and binding around the neck (sort of like a baseball shirt), but nicely fitted. Love love love Cashmerette patterns and thank you Ayelet so much for helping me with this. I’ve gotten lots of compliments.

Have not yet made this pattern as I've just downloaded it, but the experience reminded me of how delightfully easy it is to download Cashmerette patterns. You have a refined and simple ecommerce system: one click to buy (as I'm a previous customer); from the receipt that appears immediately on the same screen, one click to download; one action to drag a compact folder from my downloads window to the right place in my electronic filing cabinet; one click to open that folder to the full set of pattern files. Viola.

I love the fit of Cashmerette patterns, so I was quite confident that the Fuller cardigan would be right first time and indeed it was. (Size 18 C/D) I used a fleece-backed sweatshirt type fabric for View A and it has worked brilliantly. I had no problems in fitting the facing round the edge as I have experienced with previous cardigan projects. Not only is it a treat to skip any FBA, but I find the sleeves are the right length too. On big 4 patterns if I cut to fit my bust I often find the shoulders are too wide and it results in really long sleeves, more adjustment and cursing wasted fabric!
I now can't wait to try the cropped version, and if I can find some of the fab cable-knit fabric someone showed in the tester blog post, I shall be making another View A.
Thanks team for another excellent pattern.

I love the Fuller pattern and being sewing my third one now.
K
I made the longer version (view A). I used my measurements and it just didn’t work out. It was too tight across my chest (only 3” difference high to full chest measurement) and so huge in the arm holes. Second pattern I’ve made from Cashmerette and they just don’t work out. I have a barrel body thinner arms and legs.
So wishes Cashmerette patterns worked for me

Used 14 E/F grading out at waist, used full bicep sleeves. Made the V-neck version, neckline was too low and a bit big for me and I felt that the v was too wide. This maybe because I should have moved dart up 2-3cm, this I will do next time plus I think i will try G/H cup size. I fixed the one I made by adding a ribbing collar which tapered out to the end of the v and didnt use fasteners, I really love it.
