Take it Easy Chunky Cardigan PATTERN

Make the cardi everyone keeps asking about. This is the pattern for our Happy Thought Knits signature open-front cardigan—the cozy, color-blocked statement piece that works just as hard on a coffee run as it does dressed up for a night out.

The Take It Easy Chunky Cardigan is knit in panels and seamed together, making it a satisfying project for knitters who've got the basics down and are ready for their next big, beautiful thing. Big needles mean fast progress, and the simple construction means you'll actually finish it.
