Amy is a super-bulky cardigan, worked on US 17 / 12.75mm needles at fewer than 2 stitches per inch. It's a very quick knit, and would be fun to modify – make the sleeves short or the body longer, try adding bobbles or increases at the sides of the body to create an A line, knit it oversized to create a coat. It's a simple, blank canvas waiting for your creative twist! The neckline edge is worked in garter stitch as you knit, so once you've finished knitting, close the underarm opening, block, and go!
This is a Cocoknits Method pattern.
