• DESCRIPTION

The oversized cardigan is an easy project, with advanced beginners to intermediate knitters in mind.

Using knit and purl stitches, you will create a cardigan that has a textured stitch pattern - the seersucker stitch.

The cardigan is knit flat in 5 pieces and then seamed.

This cardigan will be super cozy to wear in the fall.

Yarn

(Bulky/Chunky/12 Ply)

Lion Brand Hue and Me - Magic Hour (125g/4.4oz/137 yds/125m) 80% acrylic/ 20% Wool.

For the following sizes you will need approx:

• Small – 8
• Medium – 8
• Large – 9
• 1X/2X – 10

Needles 

• 6 mm (US 10) knitting needles - circular with a 40"/100cm cable.
• 6.5mm (US 10.5) knitting needles - circular with a 40"/100cm cable.

Circular needles are advised because of the large number of stitches - this is worked back and forth - as you would knit with straight needles

• SKILLS

Level – Advanced Beginner

This is an advanced beginner-level knitting pattern and the techniques involved are following the 8-row seersucker stitch pattern, plus shaping through increases and decreases.

You will work from an 8-row pattern repeat throughout and at the same time work through all of the increases and decreases to shape.

• SIZING

The sizes - S / M / L / (1X / 2X)

Finished Bust About - 36 (40, 42, 46) in.

Finished Length About 30 (30, 31, 31) in.

*In the photographs, the model is wearing a medium size, this is one size up from her size (small).

This cardigan is meant to be loose and oversized - so the fit is not fitted/tight to the body.
