Shannon Cardigan Knit Kit

This cardigan was so much fun to make to the point where I was looking forward to coming home after a hard days work, relax and start knitting. Regarding the pattern itself, it was pretty straight forward. The only thing I really struggled with was decreasing the stitches on the sleeves to narrow them but I got the hang of it eventually. It took me 2-3 months to make start to finish. I love my chunky cardigan and will never stop bragging about the fact that I made it myself !!!

I’ve finished my 1st ever cardigan and I’ve absolutely loved learning to knit with Cardigang. I’ve tried to learn previously but always given up in frustration. I can’t wait to start my next knit - the hard part will be deciding what fabulous kit to choose next.

Great easy cardigan to make. Had some difficulties trying to figure out how to join the sleeves as the video instructions provided were for a different stitch. I still managed to work out a way to do it seamlessly.

First time knitter here and it’s safe to say I am hooked! It took a while to get the hang of things and I wish the videos showed more of the “real basics” such as which hole to poke the needle through and how to knit the second row. But once I got into it, the rest of the cardi was a breeze. I found myself knitting every night and it was a relaxing and therapeutic process. I followed the M size guide and knitted 2 extra rows on the sleeves, but I should have lengthened them by 6 rows to make them extra baggy. I swapped 1x ball of Baby Blues out for Bolting Blue to knit the cuffs a different colour like the Helen Cardi. I get compliments on my cardigan all the time and it’s the perfect layer to wear in winter since the wool is so thick and cozy! Can’t wait to knit a hundred more 🧶

I had knitted like one scarf when I was a teen, I am in my 30s now, so only knew how to cast on and a basic stitch. I used the you-tube video's for what I didn't know and got all of the information I needed. I would next time start with the cotton over the merino, as the merino is prone to breaking apart and sheds a bit. (as to be expected)

A pleasure to knit. This was a surprise 21st gift for my daughter. She loved it.
