KNITTING KIT - THE CARDIGIANT - Weighted Cardigan

Skill Level: Confident Beginner

The Cardi Giant is the ultimate weighted cardigan, for statement outfits and cosy evenings. This chunky chenille cardigan features dropped shoulders, a super thick squishy texture, balloon sleeved and is hip length. Created by working with two strands held double in our signature The Squishy One, super chunky chenille yarn, using knit and purl stitches with a bottom up construction. This knit is great for confident beginner knitters looking to stretch their skills. 

The fit of the Cardi Giant is oversized with 25cm positive ease on the body. The length is to the hips, however the length can be altered for a longer cardigan. You will need more yarn for this, and please note the weight of the cardigan will increase.
