Monstera Chunky Cardigan

A chunky knitted cardigan pattern which is perfect for adventurous beginners and advanced knitters.

The Monstera Cardigan is knit using 12 and 10 mm needles from the top down. First the back is knit until your reach the underarm where the stitches will be put on hold. The first front panel stitches are then picked up and knitted until the same point and put onto hold also. This is then repeated for the second front panel and then all three parts are joined, under arm stitches are cast on the cardigan is then knitted as a single piece. This reduces the need for seaming whilst still having a shoulder seam to give the project structure.
