Serene chunky cardigan in English rib stitch

With a gauge of 5 stitches and 14 rows in English Rib stitch, you’ll see quick results that will keep you motivated throughout your knitting journey.
While this cardigan is simple to create, it’s rated as Intermediate/Adventurous Beginner due to the distinctive English Rib stitch (which involves yarn overs, slipping a stitch purlwise, and knitting). Novice knitters might find it a bit challenging, but don't worry—I've also designed the Heather cardigan, a similar but simpler option that’s perfect for those just starting out. Be sure to check it out in my collection of patterns!
Remember, you CAN do it! All of my knitting patterns come with accompanying instructional videos to guide you through acquiring the essential skills needed for success. If you have any questions as you work through the pattern, don’t hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help!
Methodically crafted, this cardigan is worked by creating the front and back pieces separately on straight needles, from the bottom up. The sleeves are designed to be worked back and forth with straight needles from the top down. Once you’ve completed all the pieces, we’ll sew them together using just your fingers—no tapestry needle required!
Create your ideal chunky cardigan and enjoy receiving compliments on your impressive knitting skills! This cozy piece is perfect for layering during colder months or as a stylish addition to any outfit. So gather your materials, and let’s get knitting!
