Pattern and Instructions: The Turner Cardigan
Simple, classic, and elegant. What more could you want from this vintage-inspired Charm cardigan?
The Turner Cardigan is named after Lana Turner and is closely-fitted with either short sleeves or three-quarter sleeves. With a bit of negative ease, it is designed to be worn alone or as a layering piece over your fitted bodices.
I love throwing mine over my shoulders to ward off the chill of these late-summer evenings, but the Turner Cardigan is also a smart and stylish way to make your cleavage-tastic Charm makes a little more office appropriate.
With only three pattern pieces, it’s an extremely quick sew that is sure to become a wardrobe staple. Be sure to use #turnercardigan and #charmpatterns so I can see what you’ve created!
xoxo,
Gertie
PS: Do you spy our next pattern hack (for Princess Circle+ members)?

Is there a video for this pattern? I’ve been searching and haven’t found it yet on Patreon. I may just be looking in the wrong place.
This is the pattern that got me to subscribe, as I love vintage knits but just can't knit fast and small enough to have as many as I want.
Is there a video tutorial on the way? I'm lost at easing the sleeve cap. Which notches so we gather between? And I'm already overwhelmed looking at the button band section
I read all the instructions and need clarifications for steps 1, 4 and 5 in the finishing section. Will there be an video tutorial?
I'm going to my brother's wedding and this cardigan is exactly what I needed. I'm making it today. Can't wait to see the finished garment. :)
Im hoping for a video tutorial also! 😍🙏
I'm so excited about this pattern. These sweaters are a staple in my wardrobe. I wear them so frequently that I have to replace them every year. Now, I can make my own and add cute appliques, beads, and pearls.
This is adorable and I need to order fabric!
I can't wait to make this!
It's a great cardigan pattern. Love it!
Love this, so adorable! I've had this versatile item on my list of desired patterns.
Stanwycke bodice hack?
Will there be a video tutorial for this one? :)
I was just thinking I needed some new cardigans! I'm really excited
A cardigan pattern with cup sizes 🙌 this is really fantastic !!!!!
I just received some nice rust colored ponte. My goal is to make my very first Gertie sometime this fall.
With one of your circle skirt patterns! Evening wear, business wear, business to evening wear!
I am also excited! Thanks for this pattern! My hack guess is the Wanda with pockets.
So excited! Especially with fall around the corner this is perfect.
Totally pockets!
Yes! I am excited! Always looking for nice cardigans and it's Winter here in Australia so I can make this and use it right away!
Hilariously, I was wandering around going 'I used to be so much better at this, I cannot figure out what pattern that is'.
I love this - I'm a cardigan woman all the time! And I think I spotted the next hack - Wanda with pockets! Look closely at the pink skirt.
Yay! My attempts to buy this style cardigan have failed… excited to give it a try!
This is perfect. Exactly what I needed. Thank you xx
Lovely, thank you.
Wow how cool xxx
I had no idea today was a release day. I just died 🤪🥰 This is exactly what I have hoped for! A million thanks 🙏
Yeeeeeesssss!!!
What a happy surprise. I love these sweaters. Thank you so much.
You’ve read my mind, Gertie!!!
I am super hyped about this one. I’ve wanted for the longest time a simple looking cardigan pattern!
Just looking at my pile of sweater knits hoping for something like this
Perfect ♥️
Oh and a pocket hack for Wanda!!!!
Omg so cute! And It used to be easy to find cropped cardigans ready to wear at like old navy and such, but this is becoming more and more rare, so very much appreciate this staple!!!
Ooh exactly what I need! Perfect timing Gertie. Thank you!
This is exactly what I've been looking for!! I'm making one for this fall.
I love short cardigans over my sleeveless dresses, but it's so hard to find them in my size at the right length. This is great!
Just in time for the fall season that is approaching :)
Hack: the white skirt is Suzie's Gina dress, so I think it has to be the pink dress. A pencil skirt for the Barbara bodice?
The Wanda fits with the Barbara bodice but I’m hoping the pattern hack will be pockets for Wanda. 🤞
I just ordered two cardigans and that was me holding back. I Will save soooo much money with thuis pattern 😁
My pattern hack guess is the scalloped skirt hem
I think that’s the fabric! I’ve had eyelet fabric before with a finished edge (that’s prob not the right term, but my brain isn’t braining)
LOVE IT!!!
HOLY BUCKETS! My DD and I where just looking into how to sew sweaters last week and have never tried it before. This is super exciting!
💜💜💜💜💜
Is that the hack she's hinting about maybe? I'm intrigued too
I love this cardigan but I’m also feeling very snoopy about the dress she’s wearing. It’s not a Wanda; it has pockets. It’s not a Stanwyck; it has seams all the way down the front.
its the wanda skirt
Fantastic staple piece! And pockets for the Wanda!😍😍😍
Aww this is exactly what I wanted! It looks so cute ❤️
Perfect. The cardigan I have needed forever.
So perfect. A staple in the wardrobe. Thank you so much !
I have been wanting one for so long!!!
I've been desperate for this exact pattern - wonderful!
I'm so so so happy, ecstatic, over the moon for this pattern.
Wow! Love it! Will there be an add-on to extend the pattern? When they're cropped at the waist (the ones I buy), the bottom always end up on my rib-cage because of my large bust.
Hey Nina, you can just lengthen it however long you want to add to make it sit perfectly for you.
Just what I need!
Finally! 😍
I cannot express my joy enough at this pattern!!! I want to make embellished cardigans for every single holiday. Now I can!!!!! You're amazing, as always.
Yes!!! Thank you. I’ve been waiting for a cardigan release
i was literally looking at knit fabrics yesterday wondering if you might give us a cardigan soon! you really are in my head. this is so helpful! thank you! 💖
YAY CARDIGAN!!
YES! Been waiting for this! <3
Great pattern for fall! Now I wish I had bought a very soft oversized sweater with butterflies that I saw at a thrift store to make into this. 🧵🪡💖
I have been looking for a cardigan for years that is a perfect fit. Thank you
