Knitting Kit Cardigan : Super Chunky Rasta Mimico Cardigan

Fancy knitting your own super chunky cardigan? Our Knitting Kit for the Rasta Mimico Cardigan is just the thing! It's based on the Mimico Cardigan Pattern by Tara-Lynn Morrison, available through our Gilliangladrag LYS Ravelry Store.

This kit allows you to quickly create a fabulous, minimalist cardigan with a ribbed neck, a beautifully shaped, cropped body ending in ribbing, and those wonderfully eye-catching balloon sleeves. It's a simple silhouette that's also easily customisable, resulting in a super cosy and warm cardigan. This cardigan is knitted from the top-down in an easy raglan style, using circular needles for a seamless and straightforward construction.

The pattern uses clear and easy-to-understand language, guiding you on whether to increase or not, and encouraging you to try it on as you knit, so you can create your own custom fit. It's absolutely perfect for our hand-dyed, super soft, and luxurious Malabrigo yarn included in this kit.

Choose your Malabrigo Shade:

Select one of these two gorgeous shades of Malabrigo Rasta yarn to create your unique cardigan:

• Fuschia: A deep and rich magenta pink, hand-dyed for a truly luxurious finish.
