Chunky Garter Stitch Cardigan

Welcome to our very easy knitting pattern for a cozy Chunky Shawl Collared Cardigan, perfect for both new knitters and seasoned crafters looking for a quick and enjoyable project. This cardigan is designed to be knit entirely in Garter Stitch, which means you’ll be knitting every row, making it a straightforward and relaxing experience.

Featuring a stylish shawl collar, this cardigan is knit in one piece to maintain simplicity, though a second set of needles is necessary to cast on and knit the collar before attaching it to the main body. Whether you are knitting it for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this versatile pattern allows for customization in size and style, fitting chest sizes 86cm [34”] to 117cm [46”].

To get started on your project, you will need the following materials: 8 x 100 gram or 16 x 50 gram balls of chunky yarn, which will provide you with the warmth and comfort needed in a cardigan. You will also require two pairs of 8mm (UK0-USA11) knitting needles, a shawl pin to secure your cardigan in place, a stitch holder for keeping your work organized, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches. 

This chunky shawl collared cardigan pattern is ideal for knitters at all skill levels who enjoy a quick knitting project that results in a beautiful and functional garment. So grab your yarn and needles, and let’s get started on this delightful addition to your wardrobe! Happy knitting!
