Instant Digital Knitting Pattern Download

An oversized, longline cardigan worked at a bold super-bulky tension for dramatic texture and quick progress. The pattern uses 10 mm needles for the body and 8 mm for edges, with simple slip-edged rib that blocks neatly and wears well. Choose any super-bulky (14-ply AU/NZ) yarn that hits ≈ 12–13 sts × 16–18 rows = 10 cm in stocking stitch on 10 mm (US 15) needles. The lines below list widely available compatible yarns across the UK & EU, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, so you can substitute confidently without brand lock-in. Gauge first; then buy enough yardage for your size plus a margin for seams and swatching.

A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.
