Wool and the Gang | Live Forever Cardigan Kit

The Wool and the Gang Live Forever Cardigan is big, it’s warm, it’s snuggly and it has pockets! Queen once sang, “Who wants to live forever?” Well, if it includes a cardigan like this, we sure do! The moss stitch and twisted rib give it a lot of texture and visual interest, and the shawl collar is eternally elegant. It is a classic pattern that will nab you lots of compliments.

Make the cardigan with Crazy Sexy Wool, which is a chunky yarn made from 100% wool from South American sheep. This yarn is cozy, breathable and knits like a dream. Because of the chunky weight, you’ll see progress as soon as you start knitting.
