Description

Introducing our long cardigan knitting kit! With its chunky oversized fit, dropped shoulders, and long sleeves, this cardigan is perfect for chilly days and cool evenings. The kit includes everything you need to create this trendy piece, including detailed instruction and materials. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this kit is a great way to create a timeless fashion piece.

  • Level - Easy / Intermediate (Cast on, cast off, knit and purl stitches, decreases are necessary to know). 
  • Time to finish - approx. 16-20 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 - 8-11 skeins (1,6- 2,2 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". 15 mm (US 19) circular knitting needles may also be used if you knit more tightly or want more loose fabric. Bigger needles will also make a little bigger cardigan.
  • Finishing kit - sewing and felting needles to connect yarn and hide the ends
  • 1 cardigan pattern in English
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.

    Care
    • Gentle hand wash (with a cool water, without any agitation, lay flat to dry).
    • Washing machine is also possible (using cold water only, delicate/wool cycle, without agitation, air dry only). But note that washing in a machine will make yarn lightly felted, less fluffy, harder to touch, some softness will be lost. ​
