Victory Patterns Samara Cardigan and Robe

Buy the Samara Cardigan and Robe sewing pattern from Victory Patterns. Samara is a relaxed, loose fit cardigan and robe with drop shoulders, 7/8-length sleeves, square patch pockets, a neckband, and a belt that can be tied at the waist.

Version 1 is a cardigan style and falls just below the hip. Version 2 is a robe style and falls just below the knee. Samara works in both knit and woven fabrics and can be sewn on a serger or regular sewing machine.

The cardigan is perfect for a cool day when made in a warm, cosy knit. The robe is beautiful in a lightweight woven fabric on a summer night worn as a light jacket over jeans and a T-shirt or a dress.
