Zippered Sweater Pattern
Hi, does anyone know where I can find a (hopefully free) pattern for a zippered cardigan sweater? I'm trying to knit one for my sister, who is on the heavy side and I can't find one big enough and since I don't have any clue how to adjust it for larger sizes, I need to find one for either a man or a large woman. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA, knitaddict06

Are you a member of Rav? If so, they have several zippered cardi/jacket patts. (Mens and womens.)

Knitting Pure & Simple has a great zip front pattern for a collared cardigan. I have made it several times. It isn't free but their patterns are very reasonably priced.

I second Knitting Pure and Simple. I don't know how large you need, but they have a good range of sizes on each pattern, too.

www.knitty.com has this nice one. . .

It goes up to size 50, but you could use thicker yarn and make it bigger that way.

In fact www.knitty.com has several zippered cardigans that you can find using the search feature.
