This chunky cardigan is a pleasure to wear. You can vary yourself in use of color. The entire cardigan is knitted in brioche stitch and is therefore very elastic. Keep in mind that this pattern is based on MYPZ chunky Baby Alpaca, a chunky weight yarn, combined with 1 strand MYPZ chunky kidmohair (dk weight-hairy). If you use a different type of yarn, this may have an effect on the pattern and sizes!
Technique: You knit every part from bottom to top. You knit all parts separately > 2 fronts, 2 sleeves and 1 back. In the last step (finish) you put all the parts together and you knit a band.
