Balloon Cardigan sewing pattern from Wardrobe by Me. The Balloon Cardigan is a cosy, slightly oversized cardigan with dropped shoulders and banded edges. The sleeves and body are gathered to the cuffs and hemband, creating the cute balloon effect. Make it with the V-neckline (View A) or the round neckline (View B). Choose from two lengths and optional pockets.
