Spring into the warmer weather in the The Big Fun Cardigan. Knit using our Mixtape Yarn, a light weight yarn made from up-cycled t-shirt straps, making the Big Fun Cardigan the perfect cover up this season. Team this unique cardigan with jeans and sneakers for a low-key look, or wear it over your favourite dress.

The Big Fun Cardigan is knitted in separate pieces up to the underarm. The top part is knitted all together, to avoid bulky seams. Finally, you’ll pick up stitches along the front opening and knit the ribbed edging.

Since you’ll have a large number of stitches on your needles for working the yoke and the rib edging, circular needles are used - however, you will be working back and forth on them (like with straight needles), rather than working in the round.
