Knitting Pattern in an instant
I have used a different yarn than specified on the pattern. It did not knit up as Gauge required so I have had to adapt the pattern.

Product Description
Chocolate Stout is another collaboration with the Plucky Knitter - a new take on the Grandpa Sweater. This time it's a comfy cardigan with a distinct allover texture. It features a deep ribbing with worked in pockets that add to the vintage feel of the sweater. Waist shaping, a little unexpected detail under the arms, and a cozy but flattering modified drop shoulder have been added to the silhouette to make it more modern.
And the Rustic in a deep rich brown with - hints of purple running through it - is gorgeous and sophisticated. The aran weight 100% wool suits the stitch pattern perfectly -- it's a workhorse sweater yarn with a roundness and coziness that knits up to create a distinct cable or rib. Plus, the subtle handdyed colors accent the allover texture of the cable motif perfectly.
Sample is in Plucky Rustic. Other listed yarns are suggested substitues.

Chocolate Stout Cardigan by Thea Colman
What is Being Made
Chocolate Stout is a downloadable knitting pattern for a cardigan designed by Thea Colman of BabyCocktails. This intermediate-level cardigan is available in 13 different sizes, ranging from 37 inches (94 cm) to 59 inches (150 cm) around the bust when worn closed. The pattern is designed to be worn with approximately 5 inches (12.75 cm) of positive ease for the fit shown in the design.
Yarn Requirements and Materials
The Chocolate Stout cardigan requires aran weight yarn, with yardage varying by size. The smallest size needs 1400 yards (1280 meters), while the largest size requires 2200 yards (2011 meters). The original yarn shown in the pattern was The Plucky Knitter Rustic in 100% superwash wool, with 165 yards per 151-meter skein. Since this yarn has been discontinued, Thea Colman recommends several alternative aran weight options including Plucky Knitter Scholar, Magpie Fibers Domestic Worsted, Julie Asselin Nurtured, BareNaked Wools Confection Worsted, Kent Worsted, Jill Draper Windham, and Green Mountain Spinn yarns.
Additional materials needed include:
- Stitch markers
- Darning needle for finishing
- Waste yarn or stitch holders
- 3 to 4 large buttons (1.5 inches or 3.75 cm) for the button band
- 2 smaller buttons (0.75 to 1 inch or 2 to 2.5 cm) for the pockets
- Needle and thread to sew buttons securely in place
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
As an intermediate-level knitting project, the Chocolate Stout cardigan incorporates standard knitting techniques appropriate for knitters with foundational skills. The pattern construction includes a button band for the front closure and pocket details with smaller decorative buttons. The cardigan is worked in aran weight yarn, which creates a fabric with good structure and drape suitable for a wearable cardigan design. The pattern provides detailed sizing information based on the actual finished dimensions of the completed sweater, allowing knitters to select the appropriate size for their desired fit.
Sizing is based on actual finished measurements, with the pattern recommending that knitters choose a size offering 5 inches (12.75 cm) of positive ease to achieve the intended silhouette and fit.

Good value, excellent service.
Some of the instructions are not as clear as I would like. I have started on the sleeves and had to improvise at times. Hopefully it will all come together at the end!
