This cosy chunky cardigan features practical pockets, fold-back cuffs, and a simple garter-stitch fabric that gives weight and warmth. Designed to be knitted in true chunky/bulky yarn (wool/acrylic plied bulky yarns), it achieves a tension of 8 stitches to 10 cm (4 inches) on 5½ mm needles. The pattern includes instructions for bust sizes 86–96 cm (34–38 inches). With neat set-in sleeves, shoulder shaping, and a classic garter-stitch neckband, this piece is ideal for layering in colder weather. Modern chunky yarns in wool, blends, or acrylics will work well, and the garment benefits from a yarn with structure to hold its boxy silhouette.
