Inspiration...Striped Cardigan

 This cardigan caught my eye:


This is the Patch Pocket Knit Cardigan from Talbots.  Price tag: $89.50.  Details:  long sleeved, hits at hip, crew neck, coin pocket, straight hem.  

The version that I really liked is no longer available but that is why we sew, right?  The first pattern that came to mind is this one:


This is the Itch To Stitch Lisbon Cardigan pdf patternItch To Stitch Lisbon Cardigan pdf pattern.  The basic shape is right but it has differences as the neckband, front bands, and waist band are all sewn on.  The inspiration photo is definitely faced.  

Then, I found this pattern:


This is Simplicity 9272.  The cardigan is very close to the inspiration photo.  You would need to add a pocket.  Bonus is that there is pants and a sleeveless top.

Knitfabric.com has a fair about of stripe knit in various colors.  Cali Fabrics also has a nice selection of stripe knits.
