I'm looking for an adult size cardigan pattern that uses sport or sock yarn.

I've tried Ravelery, but really haven't found anything I like yet.

I don't want anything too complicated. I've made a few pull-overs before. And I've made one simple child's cardigan
But a lace pattern would be great.

TIA

Hi S~N~K,
Would you be comfortable trying cables?
(I know people tend to think they're complicated, but really they're not so hard.)

I've done a few cable patterns

:-)

But I prefer lace

I love cables, especially since I figured the easier way to do them...I don't use the skinny little cable needle that lets the loops pull small. I use a same-size double pointed needle. slip the stitches to be cabled to the dpn, slide them to the center, toss them in front or in back, knit the other stitches, slide the cabled stitches to the other end of the dpn and knit them off. tadaah!

and there's no narrowing or choking of the stitches at the twist, since all the stitches stay on the same size needle.

I like doing cables with a DPN too
:-)

my aunt (the lady who taught me to knit) thinks I'm nuts for doing my cables with a dpn.

on the other hand, she thinks I'm nuts for making socks from worsted weight rather than "sock yarn". but the "sock yarn" she uses costs $20-35 per pair...I can't afford that. I am very happily knitting socks on two circular needles, 24 sts per needle (48 per row) in wool ease (worsted weight) yarn. yummy warm socks, and they aren't self-striping, but I put very nice made-up-on-the-spot cable designs in, and no two pair are alike. love them, they're soft, warm, and comfy.

so who cares if I'm nuts or not?

I don't think you're nuts. I like to knit worsted weight socks for hiking and for the winter. My only problem is the acrylic content in Wool-Ease. I'm allergic to acrylic. Weird, I know, but it's true. My worsted weight socks are superwash wool. :-)

I did manage to find this site through google that has a good number of options... I've determined that there are so many beautiful patterns out there for free, that I should never have to pay for one! (Of course, it helps that my DH also likes to give me knitting books for Christmas!)

I hope you find something you like!

This one is so cool. I think it's a mobius strip.
