Description

This beginner-friendly pattern provides instructions on how to knit an oversized cardigan. Works up fast with super-bulky merino wool yarn and large knitting needles. Our fun design features a relaxed fit and drop-shoulder sleeves. Sizes XS–2X/3X.
The body of this cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up. The back panel is worked first. Without casting off, the first front panel is worked. The second front panel is knit after casting off the first panel and reconnecting working yarn. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the outer edge of the garment and worked in the round. Stitches for the neckband are picked up from the inner edge of the garment and worked flat. This listing is for the pattern only. After checkout, you will receive a digital copy of the pattern by email. If you would like to buy the full DIY Kit for this style, you can do so here.
