Product Details

This is a great project to use up all of your odds and ends of yarn, combining them together to make your own unique colour pallette of super chunky yarn. Depending on the yarns you choose, this can make it a substantial and quite weighty piece. It is bright and colourful, with a real 70's boho vibe. It is suitable for a beginner who has mastered the basics of knitting, casting on and off, colour changing using the intarsia method (tying in new colours as you go), knit and purl and some basic sewing up.

Each stage of making this special design has been illustrated with images as well as written instructions. So, in spite of it being a freestyled knit, you will be able to reproduce it using these instructions.

Feb 2022: The pattern has been fully updated with a clear layout, additional written instructions around the construction of the cardigan, tension and how to combine the yarns to achieve the correct weight of yarn.

At the moment I’m surrounded by yarn, you need 20 colours to do one set of 4 x 12 squares. Each square is 5 DK yarns knitted together, which makes it 5 x 4 squares, 20 balls of yarn. So it’s 5 squares high, which is 100 ball colour way for the back. It’s a great idea to use your leftover yarn, but, I’ve got yarn everywhere.. I’ve finished the back, but I’m not putting my yarn away till I’ve finished the article. I’m really pleased how the back looks. I’m just a bit concerned about the mess all the yarns look on the floor. As I said the back looks lovely. Very colourful.

Easy pattern. Haven’t knitted it yet but have plenty of oddments of wool that will be ideal for this.
