About this Kit
Take Your Time Cardigan: This fingering weight knitting pattern is a soft garter and brioche cardigan. The pattern has fully written instructions for a great introductory foray into brioche knitting, as well as links to several suggested video tutorials.
"Sometimes, all we need is a bit more time. A bit more time to knit and relax before jumping on a hard task… A bit more time before finishing a pattern draft… Or perhaps just some time off. Whatever it is… It’s OK. Take your time and breathe." -- from the designer
The Take Your Time Cardigan pattern is designed by Joji Locatelli. This yarn pack includes:
- 3 colors of either Spectacular or Trampoline yarn base, enough yarn to make one sweater; choose color palette and size from the dropdown menu.
Yarn Options:
- Trampoline - fingering (100% superwash Merino) - 440 yards/100g. Extra springy - will create a much bouncier fabric for this kit
- Spectacular - fingering (100% superwash Merino wool) - 400 yds/100g. Single-ply, shiny, and soft. Skeins weigh approximately 115g, for around 460 yards/skein. Most similar to yarn suggested in the pattern.

Notes about Knitcircus Yarns
Because of our unique dyeing process, many of our darker colors appear heathered, with small light spots sprinkled throughout. This heathering is normal. Our yarns are colored using professional-grade acid dyes. We’ve made every effort to photograph the color accurately, but appearance may vary depending on your monitor settings.
