SKILL LEVEL:

METHOD:
The cardigan is worked back and forth using circular needles, starting from the mid-front and bottom up to the armholes. After reaching the armholes, the front and back pieces are completed separately. For the sleeves, you will work back and forth using circular needles (or straight needles) from the top down. The cable pattern on the sleeves is reversible and does not merge with the pattern on the front pieces. Finally, the pieces are sewn together—no tapestry needle needed, you can use your fingers!—to complete the cardigan.
STITCHES:
You will meet the following techniques: cast on, knit, purl, knit 2 together, c4f, c4b, cast off.
YARN:
Chunky yarn is an excellent choice for beginner knitters. Its thickness allows for quick progress, easy stitch visibility, and the ability to correct mistakes with ease. Knitting with chunky yarn is not only enjoyable but also highly satisfying.
