I’ve been trying to spend my free time as productively as possible lately, and today I’m more than happy to share my first self-knitted cardigan!
I’ve been thinking a lot about my wardrobe and made a New Year’s resolution that I’m already starting to work on to wear more self-made clothes, including knitwear. After working for over five years in fast fashion, my perspective has changed completely. I used to follow trends, but now I focus on following my own style. It feels so much more authentic and fulfilling.
Let’s talk about this cardigan, shall we?
First, a little disclaimer: this is not a sponsored post. I purchased this cardigan kit entirely by myself.
To make it, I used six balls of Crazy Sexy Wool in Eucalyptus Green, which is made from 100% wool. You can find the cardigan kit HERE.
When the kit arrived, I was so excited that within fifteen minutes I was already sitting on my bed with a hot cup of tea, ready to start knitting. I have to admit, I made a lot of mistakes! As a beginner, this cardigan was quite a challenge. I don’t know if it’s just me or if it gets easier with experience, but every time I took my eyes off the work to watch Netflix, I somehow ended up doing something wrong, only to notice it five rows later.
Knitting is definitely more challenging than I expected, and I have so much respect for those who do it so effortlessly.
Nonetheless, after more than twelve hours of work, I finally finished my piece, and I can honestly say this is the warmest jumper in my wardrobe. I’ve even been wearing it as a jacket lately! I’m so happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to start knitting my next piece.
This looks great! What size did you make? Is it Size 2?
Hello, do you have a master class video for this cardigan?
Hi, can you please share the link for the pattern please because I can not find the pattern. Many thanks
Hi, this looks great, well done you! Btw, for those enquiring, LoveCrafts have the pattern to buy separately now. Think I am going to give this one a whirl!
Hi Toni, could you share the link for the pattern? I can’t find it and would love to knit this 🙂
Looks fabious!!! Great job!
I checked on their site and it is very pricy, eventually will cost me 140Euro, which is quite expensive. I wish they would sell pattern only.

Thank you so much! Yes, it’s a pity they don’t sell patterns only. They might be pricey, but their wool is the best quality I used tbh 🙂
Hi
I already have enough of the wool from Wool and the Gang to make this cardigan. Can you just buy the pattern for this lovely Cable Bomber or do you have to buy the whole kit to get the pattern?

Unfortunately, WATG sells knitting patterns only as a kit with the yarn. It’s a shame, I also have some yarn and would love to buy a pattern only from them. Perhaps they’ll change it one day x
