Quick and easy with excellent results! I sewed View A and made for my size in the measurements listed. Next time I will go up a size so that it’s a little roomier. I can see that there will be more of these in my future as it’s an excellent addition to any wardrobe. I highly recommend this pattern.

This is a great cardigan pattern! I’ve sewn up view A twice now, and if you leave out the pockets it comes together very quickly. I do, however, love the pockets–they can fit an iPhone 6 Plus comfortably! This is the perfect fall cardigan. As always, no trim pages are a wonderful bonus, and you get three versions of this pattern to make endless cardigan options!

Easy sew, love the pockets and the different versions are must haves for a fall (and winter in Florida) wardrobe!

I’ve made the Canyon cardigan twice now and it is a great addition to my wardrobe as we transition to fall. My only suggestion is to make sure your pockets are made from a matching color choice you don’t mind showing–my pockets gape open slightly on both versions when I used a lightweight polyester lining fabric. I don’t mind it though, because I love the waistline pockets and think it’s a very unique feature.

This is my 3rd LN sew within the week. I spent more time taping the pattern than the actual sewing. Great instructions and easy sew. Love the waistline pockets. I can definitely see myself making lots more of this cardigan!

Absolutely love this cardigan pattern! It’s versatile enough to make several looks from one pattern and I am loving my fall creations!! I can’t wait to use this for spring and summer cardigans/vests as well.

When I first saw the line drawings I wasn’t sure I would like the Canyon, but after sewing it I realized how great it is! It is the perfect layering piece, and flattering on everyone! I have already sewn a couple with more cut out!

This was my first attempt at clothes not for a halloween costume. I made the canyon waterfall and it is perfect! The instructions were very clear. I am so glad I decided to try Love Notions for my wardrobe!
Anne (verified owner) –
I made the waterfall version for myself and will be making another one soon. I’m going to try one size larger next time. I like my cardi’s a little roomier. All in all a great pattern!
Jaslyn (verified owner) –
My 1st attempt at a cardigan for myself. Love it! I will definitely be making more! I am so going to fill up my wardrobe with all LN patterns!!
