The Tilly Bomber
I’ve written this pattern as a simple stash buster for all of you knitaholics!
This is the perfect pattern to knit cuddled up on the sofa watching television!
The Tilly Bomber is knitting in flat panels!!!!
The Tilly Bomber is a bottom-up cardigan made up by knitting the back panel, two panels for the front, 2 rectangular sleeves and then seaming it all together before picking up stitches to do 1x1 ribbed neckline, waistband, and wrist cuffs!
You can use whichever DK weight you like using 4 strands held together!

☺ A pair of 10mm straight/circular knitting needles
or the correct size for you to get the correct gauge
For circulars I suggest using at least 80cm/30 inch cord
☺ A pair of 8mm knitting needles
(preferably circular needles- but this is not essential. If using circulars I suggest using a chord of at least 100cm/40 inches)
☺ An 8mm crochet hook for picking up stitches
if this is your preferred tool for picking up stitches
☺ Some stitch markers or pins to help seam the panels together
☺ A stitch marker to mark the beginning of the round if you decide to use the magic loop technique for the wrist cuffs
☺ A stitch holder or some scrap yarn for the top of the back panel
☺ A darning needle for seaming and for if you want to weave in the ends - I mostly don’t
