Description

This is not an actual garment. It is instructions on how to make it.


The Novice Cardigan – Chunky Edition is worked from the top down. This means that you begin by working the ribbed neck edge, then you work the yoke, then the body and finally the sleeves. The cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch, while the edges are worked in rib. The Novice Cardigan – Chunky Edition has a round yoke, which is shaped by working 4 sets of increases evenly distributed along the yoke.

Size Guide and Measurements

Please note that knitting to the correct gauge is essential to end up with a garment that has the measurements given in the pattern.

The Novice Cardigan – Chunky Edition is designed to have approx. 15 cm [6 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 15 cm [6 inches] larger in circumference than your body.

This will give you 15 cm [5¾ inches] of positive ease.
