Let’s try to knit this lovely chunky cardigan over the weekend! Thanks to the chunky yarn, it works up super quickly.
This beginner-friendly instant download PDF knitting pattern comes with a full video tutorial for extra guidance.

I’m also excited to introduce you to my new knitting pattern style, which I called “Plus.” In this “Plus” style, you’ll find plenty of tips and tricks to make your knitting experience relaxing and joyful. No complicated stuff here, just pure knitting fun!

♥ OVERVIEW
Chilly days call for a warm cardigan, and this one feels extra cozy. It features an open design, making it perfect for layering. The beautiful horseshoe cable design adds a traditional look, while the ribbed cuffs and hem help to keep in warmth.
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.

♥ 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.

In the cardigan pattern, I used “Crazy Sexy Wool” by Wool and the Gang in the color Mineral Pink. This 100% wool yarn is available in 200g/7.05 ounce skeins and is priced at US $ 25.00* per skein. Depending on your size, you will need 5 (5, 6, 7) (7, 8, 8) skeins.

For more BUDGET-FRIENDLY options that meet the recommended gauge, you can consider the following alternatives (you will need 435 (435, 522, 609) (609, 696, 696) yards):

• Drops “Polaris”: A natural wool yarn with muted colors, priced at US $ 5.60* per skein.

Feel free to choose any of these yarn options as alternatives, ensuring that you match the recommended gauge of 6 stitches and 12 rows (or 6 ribs) for a 4x4 inches piece in Garter stitch.
