Product Information
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 stocking 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.
The Novice Cardigan – Chunky Edition is designed to have approx. 1 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 15cm larger in circumference than your body for layering and wearing comfort.
