Easy Peasy Chunky cardigan
When it’s cold in the morning, evening, and in the shade, I miss having a cozy, light, simple, and lovely cardigan that I can quickly throw over my cold shoulders. It needs to be quick, easy, fun, and simple to knit, with a great fit. That’s how this cardigan came to be. It should be knitted with large needles, so I’ve chosen needles size 10 mm / US 15 and experimented a lot to find my favorite combination: knitting with two strands of Önling No 12 and two strands of Önling No 10 yarn held together.

This combination is wonderfully light, airy, and still manageable with four strands. It’s perfect for throwing over bare shoulders on a summer evening, watching the sunset over the sea from the top of a sand dune in Kandestederne by the North Sea in North Jutland. You can crumple it up and toss it in your bag when you’re on the go. The cardigan is cropped at the waist and a bit oversized, providing about 15-20 cm/6-8 inches of ease (more than your bust measurement), with slightly deep armholes.

Easy Peasy is Önling’s series of basic sweaters, cardigans, scarves, and shawls in classic Nordic designs, with patterns written in a simple and beginner-friendly language - without abbreviations.

Method
The cardigan is knitted back and forth, from the top down in one piece. An i-cord is worked, into which stitches are picked up. The yoke is first knitted with increases in the center front and raglan increases on the right side, and then with only raglan increases on the right side. Then the work is divided, and the sleeves and body are finished separately. The length can be easily adjusted to be shorter or longer as desired.
