// Merino Knit Kit // All Day Every Day Cardi

Snuggly Cardi Swap

I bought this pattern and after starting I decided I’d like some texture. I contacted the team and they kindly sent me the pocket rocket pattern as I had requested, without hesitation right away. This is my second project from the JMC and I can’t rate them highly enough! Both patterns are super easy to follow. I did adjust the sleeves to a shorter length which was easy to do, and the yarn is beautiful with no knots or joins in the balls.

Stoked

I haven’t knitted in 30 years, and at best my scarves had holes and my jerseys needed help to be put together. I smashed out this cardigan in two days, during my kids school holidays. Early morning starts and late night finishes, when the kids were in their beds. I’m so glad I did this, as I had my kids supporting this adventure, cheering me on and appreciating all my milestones, like I do theirs. It took me several tries to cast on, where I was then happy to continue. I nervously knitted my way through the pattern, always knowing I had video support should I forget how to do something or make a mistake. Picking up stitches for the sleeves, I had several attempts at, but it’s no big deal to stop and start again with them. I would highly recommend this cardigan for any stage of knitting ability. As you are so well supported throughout your knitting by the use of QR codes, linked to YouTube clips, I believe anyone can get to grasps with how to do this. Best of all it’s a NZ business, selling NZ merino wool knit kits, supporting local just feels so right ❤️ I didn’t change anything with this pattern. I just used the lengths for the body and sleeves as stated, and they were perfect for me. I got the size 14-16 knit kits.

Cardi heaven

I absolutely loved making this cardi, as a total newbie I loved the easy to watch videos and instruction book. The thick chunky yarn made it easy to see my knits or purls. This cardi is so super warm, perfect for southland weather. I made a size 10/12 and added extra lengths on arms and body.
