Cozy Fabric Inspiration for the Fuller Cardigan


A cozy cardigan is a wardrobe must, whether you’re battling cooler temperatures outdoors or inside. The Fuller Cardigan is a raglan cardi with two views that are sure to complement any look in your closet.

When you’re shopping your favorite fabric store (or your stash) for your first Fuller, look for a medium-weight knit with at least 15% stretch, like sweater knits, medium- to heavy-weight jersey, and ponte. Finding high quality cardigan-worthy knits can sometimes be tricky, so if you haven’t yet found your dream cardi fabric, check out some of our favorites below.

We’ve also got luscious Fuller Cardigan sweater knit kits in four colors available for a limited time! Each kit includes enough fabric, interfacing, and buttons to make a Fuller cardi in any size (12-32).

If you want to take it up a notch, why no got for a floral? There’s no reason your cardigan needs to play second fiddle to your outfit—let it be the star of the show in a fun floral print.

If you’ve got no patience to knit yourself a cabled sweater (guilty!), these faux cabled knits are the next best thing.

The Fuller’s raglan sleeves are ideal for color blocking. Double faced knits are reversible and make playing with color blocking so easy.

View A of the Fuller Cardigan features oversized buttons. You only need four of them, so make them extra special with these unique options.

If you’re sewing View B, the buttons are smaller but no less important! We love these three beautiful options.
