Basic Chunky Amazing Cardigan Knitting Kit

Knit a striking and comfortable cardigan with the Basic Cardigan Chunky Amazing Knitting Kit in size S/M. The straight silhouette, wide sleeves, and large blocks of color give the cardigan a modern, relaxed look. Because you knit the entire cardigan with double strands of yarn, the fabric gains extra volume and a wonderfully chunky texture.

The sample cardigan shown in the images is worked in red, cream, and pink. However, with this customizable Knitting Kit, you can choose any colors you like. You can follow the sample color combination, adjust one or more colors, or create a completely original palette. This way, you can use the same pattern to make a cardigan that perfectly matches your style.

A Cardigan with Different Knitting Stitches

In this design, you’ll combine ribbing, seed stitch, and stockinette stitch. The different stitches create subtle textural variations between the color blocks and give the cardigan extra character. The body and sleeves are worked with large needles, allowing your project to grow quickly and easily.

The entire cardigan is knitted with double yarn. This means you’ll always work with two strands at a time. This creates a fuller knit and really brings out the Chunky effect.

Choose the colors for your cardigan yourself

The colors shown in the images are for inspiration only. For each color position in the kit, you can choose any available color. Be sure to stick to the specified quantities for each color position.

One of the original colors from the design is no longer available and will therefore be replaced by default with Stylecraft Special Chunky 1005 Cream. If you’d prefer to use a different color, you can choose any available color for this position, just as you do for the other color choices.

Size and Fit

This kit is designed for size S/M. The basic pattern also accommodates size L/XL. For the larger size, different measurements and more yarn are required than what is included in this standard kit.

Would you like to make the cardigan in size L/XL? Please feel free to contact our Customer Service before ordering for advice on the amount of yarn needed.

Gauge swatch

To ensure a good fit, it’s important to first knit a 10 x 10 cm gauge swatch. This allows you to check whether your stitch count matches the pattern and prevents the cardigan from turning out too big or too small.
