Welcome to my crafty space. This is my space to share my knitting and crocheting adventures along with some patterns for you to enjoy!
The Monstera Chunky Cardigan is knitted with super chunky yarn on 12 mm and 10 mm knitting needles. It is worked seamlessly top down. Firstly, you knit the back panel until you reach under the arm. These stitches are then put on hold and you will knit the two front panels to the same length. These are then joined to the back panel and the body of the cardigan is knitted in one piece. There is then a section of moss stitch followed by a bubble stitch section. The arms stitches are picked up and knitted seamlessly in the round. The use of contrasting colours is shown in the tester photos but colour changes are completely optional.
The pattern is aimed to have a positive ease of 10 cm - 20 cm depending on desired fit. It is written for sizes XS - 5XL (stated as 1-9 in the pattern) with finished chest measurements of 95 cm - 187 cm (see sizes below).
