This oversized cardigan was designed to be snug and cosy to wear, as well as easy and quick to knit. The I-cord edges and cropped length gives the Cosy a modern yet casual aesthetic. Add a pop of colour to the sleeve cuff or leave plain for a more subtle look.

Cosy is knit from the top down using a simple circular yoke construction. If you prefer less ease, just choose a size or two less than suggested.

This cardigan was designed to be a simple and relaxing project. There is no shaping and minimal finishing, which makes for a super-fast, easy project. Once you bind off, all you need to do is weave in the ends. Hope you enjoy!
