Grunge Cardi has been discontinued for the time being, I’m due to release it again in the near future with a much more inclusive size range (10 sizes ranging from 28” to 66”) and better pattern layout, this means it will become a pay for pattern due to the revamp

Grunge Cardi was a small simple inspiration of wanting my very own slightly baggy V-neck cardigan to lounge in over the winter months that will go nicely with my maxi dresses but will keep me warm and toasty. Firstly drawn up with the idea to have pockets but then changed due to wanting a shorter cardigan. Although not difficult if you’d prefer to add some later, I aimed for a deep 1x1 ribbing to keep it tight and cosy around the waistline and aim to insulate the body. It’s worked straight from bottom up with fully-fashioned raglan shaping on straight knitting needles.
Bomber can be easily lengthened, by just adding more length below the armholes.
