Looking for a knitting pattern for a cardigan or similar

Hi everyone,
I’m at my wit’s end… I still have a bunch of Lana Grossa Nordico NS 8-9 yarn left. I originally wanted to knit a poncho,
but I’ve changed my mind. I’d like something with sleeves—either a long cardigan or a soul warmer. But there are also those cardigans that overlap at the top and fasten with a large button.
I’m a size 42, so I’d prefer a cut that isn’t too bulky.
I’m not a pro at knitting either…
Can anyone here help me out?
I’d really appreciate it……
Best regards
Ulrike

Good morning, Ulrike, and welcome to the forum.

Why don’t you take a look under “Knitting – Women – Vests and Jackets”?
You might find something there—there are quite a few pieces in the style you’re looking for.

Have fun!

Good morning, see if these pictures help you when searching via the pattern categories.





There you'll find the “Jackets and Vests” section under “Women’s”

@wollefaden: Oops, I was too slow. I took too long with my pictures. :-)

Thank you so much for the quick replies.
The only problem is that either it’s knitted with a smaller needle size and I don’t know how to convert that, or the description doesn’t specify the needle size at all. And I don’t like buying something sight unseen. :-(
When it comes to adapting patterns, I’m totally inexperienced.

Hello Ulrike
small tip. Try looking in the free patterns for cardigans. There is definitely a green cardigan there. It uses your needle size and the cut is a perfect fit too.
You could give that a try.
