Sugar Cardigan
Here she is, finally. By far my most requested pattern, finally in a document! Sugar is an Advanced Beginner/Intermediate knit, however the pattern is written as thoroughly as possible, and it isn’t too technically difficult, so if you’re a keen beginner, you might be able to give it a pretty good crack!
Sugar will make you feel like an enormous toasted marshmallow with her chunky cabled sleeves and super oversized fit. She’s super soft and squishy, and will hug you nice and tight, treat you gently, listen to you after a long day, make you dinner, and read you a story before she tucks you in at night.
I have only used Wool and the Gang’s ‘Crazy Sexy Wool’ for this pattern, and have not yet found a yarn that is similar enough to replace it, so I cannot recommend a different yarn at this time.
Materials:
12mm (US17) circular knitting needles (80cm/31.5” length)
15mm (US19) circular knitting needles (80cm/31.5” length)
Cable needle (I used a pencil)
7 balls of 200g Super Chunky yarn (4wpi), approx. 560m yardage (I used Wool and the Gang’s ‘Crazy Sexy Wool’ in ‘Pink Lemonade’).
Tapestry needle
Stitch/yarn markers
Sharp scissors
