The slipped stitch cardigan has taken on a new name – the Monday Morning Cardigan!
Throw on this cardigan and be ready to face your week! Classic style and feminine shaping make Monday Morning a great sweater for work, play, or whatever comes your way.
Knit seamlessly from the bottom up, with a beautiful slipped stitch pattern that lies flat and doesn’t contract like ribbing. Three-quarter sleeves stay out of your way, and visually interesting waist shaping enhances your curves!
Big thanks to Kim McBrien for technical editing.
Top by Grace & Cello, skirt by Passenger Pigeon (sadly no longer in business).

That’s beautiful, Laura! Can you please tell me what the upper arm circumferences are for the two largest sizes? I have bigger upper arms than most people with my chest circumference.
Hooray! It’s so pretty.
Beautiful! Very flattering, and it looks so comfy!
i’m liking it!
Hi Laura, beautiful sweater! I think you just brought back my knitting mojo! Thanks for that! ;-)
Soooooooooooooo pretty!
Love it! Into my queue it goes!
Hi Laura ! Another beautiful cardigan. It’s amazing how creative you are. I have already bought the pattern. This cardigan will be perfect for next autumn !!!
Love, love love this! I am using this same color yarn right now to make a sweater coat and now I wish I had more to make this. Might have to order more. Thank you for this lovely pattern.
Love it! Totally getting this one soon!
I was just thinking this morning that I wanted a cardigan.

Thank you for such a beautiful creation!!!

Gorgeous sweater! I may have to change from hoodie Mondays to cardi Mondays.
gorgeous!! do you think it would work with cotton?
Unbelieveable. Just a couple of weeks ago I was working something small and utilitarian in this pattern and thought – this would be great in a sweater and now HERE IT IS!
THANKS!
yay! i’ve been looking forward to this. already bought it. thanks! :)
It’s gorgeous! Going into my Ravelry queue right now – can’t wait to CO! :-)
Beautiful! I love this cardi! Off to add it to my queue :)
congrats on another beautiful pattern! i love everything about this sweater.
I’ve been looking for a good cardigan pattern for a while now – I think this fits the bill! I really love it, and it looks like a quick knit. Can’t wait to get started :)
Wonderful sweater! Very flattering and classic. Would love to have one of these in a cotton for myself :)
Oooh, I love the waist shaping! Great sweater. Definitely going to order that one!
Very cool! I love the interest in the waist shaping. You are modeling the 38″ bust, correct?
Love love love … bought!
Oh, awesome! I’ve been waiting impatiently for this one. And I love that you’ve got a “buy now” button–it’s a huge improvement over calling on the phone and having a hard copy mailed from Canada!
Hey Laura! I absolutely LOVE this cardigan!! Just like many other patterns of yours :) I’m definitely buying it. Thanks a lot for your creativity and your work! :)
I LOVE it. Now to choose which colour of cascade to knit it in!
i’m gone a do this, yes mam !
Wow, what a great sweater for the office! It looks great on you, and I love the design. Keep up the good work. : )
Really love this sweater. Great for work. Can’t wait to make it in Laurel. I think the slip stitches will really pop!
Hi Laura! Had to comment on your latest pattern design. I love this stitch pattern. I’ve noticed it out there quite a bit this season. And you made it in my favorite color so I’m really anxious to make one for myself. Very classic. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.

Hi Laura..
I have to say each time I see a new knit
pattern you’ve designed & knitted up – I
would like to have it immediately !!
I really do like your styles and as
yet haven’t seen one that I didn’t like.
They are so classic and don’t appear
to be too difficult..
Even though I have been knitting since
a young girl, I’m still a beginner in
my mind.. always learning a new stitch
or technique..
I have a couple of questions for you,
Is there a Cosmicpluto Knits Pattern
Book available? And where might I b
able to purchase it here in Vancouver,
B.C.
Can we send you a Money-Order to pay
for the various patterns we wish
to buy from you?
I am retired, I don’t use Credit
cards anymore.
Living on a low income doesn’t
allow me to be extravagant as
I once was when I was working.
Continued success!!
It is so nice to see you’re
based in Toronto.
Thank you again.
Happy Knittin & Stitchin !
Sandy
