Chunky hand knitted cropped cardigan knitting kit. This cropped cardigan features shortened and lightly oversized silhouette, dropped shoulders, puffed 3/4 sleeves and ribbed edges. Timeless knitwear for colder days! Knits up quickly with the large needles and chunky yarn.

• Level - Intermediate (Cast on, cast off, knit and purl stitches, 1x1 twisted rib stitch, decreases, increases are necessary to know)
• Time to finish - approx. 10-12 hours
• This cardigan is hand knitted in one piece by working from bottom to top up to the armholes. The sleeves are knitted from the armholes and the ribbed collar is completed at the end by picking up and knitting stitches along the fronts and the back. 

Kit contents:

• Yarn - 4-5 skeins (800 grams - 1 kg) of Hello Merino yarn - depends on cardigan size
• Needles (optional) - 1 pair of 12 mm (US 17) circular knitting needles  (100-120 cm/40-47") or 1 pair of 15 mm (US 19) circular knitting needles (100-120 cm/40-47") or both
• Finishing kit - sewing and felting needles to connect yarn and hide the ends
• 1 cardigan pattern in English

Knitting needles recommendations:

• 12 mm (US 17) circular knitting needles are recommended (especially if you knit rather loosely). Also this size is recommended for knitting more tight ribbed cuffs.
• 15 mm (US 19) circular knitting needles are also possible if you knit more tightly or want more loose fabric. Bigger needles will also make a little bigger cardigan.
• For the sleeves and cuffs, you will need to use a magic loop technique if using circular needles 100-120 cm/40-47". To avoid this, you may use circular needles 50-60 cm/20-24" for sleeves or DPNs for cuffs.

The order will be shipped in 1-2 days.
