The perfect introduction to knitting, this Dreamy Oversized Cardigan knit kit continues to be our most popular pattern to date!

Designed to keep you beautifully cosy as well as super stylish, this slouchy cardigan is a perfect luxe layer to keep you  toasty warm during winter. Our oversized knit cardigan can be dressed up or down and uses the softest, dreamiest Merino wool so there will be no itchy skin even when worn over a vest top.

The oversized cardigan has a subtle rib down each edge as well as the bottom, neckline, and cuffs and slowly tapers in at the front. The sleeves are designed to be full length or you can fold the ribbed cuff over to make them three-quarter length.

This knit kit is simple enough for a confident beginner but is also enjoyable for those more experienced knitters – using basic stitches of knit and purl with a small amount of shaping.

Knitting Tension:

Tension is really important for this knit kit – we’ve added an image that shows the difference that a tight or a loose tension can make to the finished garment. If you’d like it slouchier (which is our preference!) then keep your tension nice and loose. If you’re wanting it more fitted then keep your stitches tighter. We’ve written a blog about it to help guide you!
