This medium weight knit fabric is so soft and comfortable feeling that it would be perfect for a winter cardigan or coatigan.

Fabric Details

Fabric Type - Textured Knit

Stretch - 70% (length) & 20% (width)

Colour - Grey

Pattern - Abstract

Width - 150cm/59"

I came across this fabric when I was making a coatigan using Simplicity 8811 and thought it would be a good material to use in the future.  I made my original jacket with a woven fabric but the pattern calls for stretch fabric - more details can be found here.  This knit fabric has a good amount of stretch and would be nice and soft to wear, ideal for driving & walking during the cooler Autumn months.  It would be possible to line the sleeves with some cotton jersey for extra warmth.

This fabric is £10.99 per metre, at the time of writing, and Simplicity 8811 would require approximately 2.5 metres depending on which version is made, giving a gorgeous coatigan for just under £28.00.
