Here’s a really nifty, yet simple giant knitting style pattern. If the first pattern of this mini collection dedicated to Miss Noodle is easy peasy and ideal for those who don’t have much time on their hands, the tutorial up next is even quicker! Don’t believe me? Set your timer!
MATERIALS
Miss Noodle yarn col. Milk g. 140 / 4,9 oz
Knitting needle n° 25 EU / 50 US
KNIT-CROCHET STITCHES USED
Stockinette stitch: knit 1, purl 1
We decided to use the stockinette stitch, just like we did for the blanket. Our Miss Noodle is so nice as it is, it’s not necessary to use tricky stitches. Less is more!
METHOD
Cast on 18 stitches and work the stockinette stitch for 11 rows. Then decrease the crown as follows, keeping in mind that the decrease is done on the right side of the work.
row 12: knit 1, knit 2 together and repeat for the whole row
row 13: purl
row 14: repeat the row 12
row 15: repeat the row 13
Bind off by inserting the stitches above the thread.
Sew up the hat.
And that’s it! I’d say there’s still time leftover for our oversized cardigan. Let’s go on then!
MATERIALS
Miss Noodle yarn col. Mustard 3,06 kg / 6.6 lb
Miss Noodle yarn col. Moss 120 g / 4.2 oz

METHOD
Darn by hand as follows:
Cast on 48 stitches of Col. Mustard and work the stockinette stitch for 20 rows.
Row 21: divide the stitches of the row into 3 parts (12 - 24 - 12) to work the stockinette stitch separately for 13 rows. There are 34 rows in total.
Darn by hand as per the chart:
Sew the shoulders by darning colour by colour as the example below:
Cast on 14 stitches of col. Milk and work the stockinette stitch for 4 rows.
Row 5: change colour to col. Moss, increase a stitch at the beginning and at the end of the row.
From the row 6 to the 8: stockinette stitch with the col. Moss
row 9: change colour to col. Mustard, increase a stitch at the beginning and at the end of the row (for a total of 18 stitches).
From the row 10 to the 12: work the stockinette stitch with the col. Mustard.
Bind off the stitches and sew the sleeves onto the cardigan.
And that’s the cardigan done too! Isn’t it wonderful? I love it.
It’s simple but it’s got that spark about it, sufficiently oversized (if not what kind of giant knitting would it be?) comfy and not to mention how warm and soft it is. All thanks to the Alpaca which our Miss Noodle is made with.
Shall we change colour and make another one?
