This chunky cardigan is named after the home of the Big Rocking Horse in South Australia.

It is designed to be a fun, quick, slouchy garment for knitters of all sizes. The unusual construction provokes different thinking about sizing and seaming.

✔ Understanding garment construction
✔ Relationship between ease, gauge and fit
✔ Seaming techniques

NOTE: some maths is required! The pattern involves measuring yourself, swatching, and using that information to knit a garment that fits any knitter/ knitworthy recipient.
