Cluck Luck Cardigan
This cardigan was inspired by my love for using scraps/single skeins in a way that showcases them. You will essentially be playing one long game of yarn chicken - HENce the name (and optional intarsia chickens)
SEEKING TESTERS
Boxy, cropped fit. Top down raglan crewneck cardigan with neckline shaping. Modest balloon sleeve. Applied garter buttonbands with icord edges.
9 available sizes: 71-157cm designed chest circumference fit. Designed with avg 20-30cm postive ease, with gradually less positive ease in larger sizes.
Materials:
Worsted-Aran yarn
Assorted scraps - recommend a blend of different textures for added contrast
Can also hold thinner yarns together (ex: dk + mohair lace wt) to get similar gauge - lean into the imperfection!!
5mm circular needles (optional 2mm dpn for buttonband)
8-10 medium buttons (or make your own - instructions included)
stitch markers & typical notions
The neutral version was originally created by me in 2024, using a collection of scraps and single skeins (cough baby knitter core). I have since altered the raglan lines to bring in the armpit, added neck shaping, and swapped the 1x1 rib banding to a garter buttonband to compliment the purl bump color changes. So fun getting to reimagine and improve a project, and see how much my technical and design skills have improved over the years!
