This super versatile drop-shoulder cardigan features chunky ribbed borders, two pockets on the front and an all-over stockinette stitch. Knitting the Rewind Cardy offers the chance to learn techniques like adding button bands, pockets and buttonholes in a format made for beginners. Like with all &Make designs, the knitter is walked through each step of knitting with illustrations, written instructions, and video tutorials. For someone wanting to knit their first cardigan, this is the perfect project.

Rewind Cardy can be knitted in any &Make yarn and this kit is for the Aran version. Choose DK for a light and drapey fabric, Super Bulky for a warm cosy fabric, or Aran for something in the middle. The &Make Aran version also has an added customisation for a fun five-coloured cardigan!
