Knipmode Basic Chunky Amazing Cardigan Knitting Kit

Knit a wonderfully chunky and comfortable cardigan with the Knipmode Basic Cardigan Chunky Amazing Knitting Kit in size S/M. The roomy fit, wide sleeves, and large blocks of color give this cardigan a contemporary and relaxed look. Knitting with thick yarn and using double strands creates a full-bodied fabric with a rugged, soft texture.

The sample cardigan shown in the images is worked in grey, cream, and green, but with this customizable Knitting Kit, you choose all the colors yourself. You can follow the combination shown, change one or two colors, or put together a completely unique palette. This way, you can use the same pattern to create a cardigan that perfectly matches your wardrobe.

A chunky cardigan with different knitting stitches

For the Basic Cardigan, you’ll combine ribbing, seed stitch, and stockinette stitch. The different stitches create subtle textural variations between the color blocks. The entire cardigan is knitted with double yarn, which gives the fabric a nice, full body and allows the project to grow quickly with the thick needles.

You’ll knit the separate front panels and sleeves and then join them together. Finally, you’ll knit a 5 cm cuff along the front panels and neckline. This gives the cardigan a neat finish.

Choose the colors for your cardigan yourself

The colors in the sample serve as inspiration. Within the kit, you can choose any available color for each color position. Be sure to stick to the specified amount of yarn per color position.

One of the original colors from the design has been out of stock for some time. Therefore, Stylecraft Special Chunky 1005 Cream is selected by default for this color position. If you’d prefer to use Yarn and Colors, you can choose an available color from Yarn and Colors Chunky Amazing for this position, just as you did for the other colors.

Size and Fit

This kit is put together for size S/M. The basic pattern also includes sizes S/M and L/XL. For size L/XL, the pattern uses larger measurements, and you’ll need more yarn than is included in this standard kit.

Would you like to make the cardigan in size L/XL? Feel free to contact our Customer Service before ordering for advice on the amount of yarn you’ll need.

Gauge swatch

To ensure a good fit, it’s important to knit a gauge swatch first. The gauge for this pattern is 8.5 stitches x 12 rows = 10 x 10 cm. Check your gauge before starting the Cardigan so that the final measurements match the pattern as closely as possible.

Why does one color say “Stylecraft Special Chunky”?
