Campsite Waffle Cardigan by Two of Wands
What is Being Made
The Campsite Waffle Cardigan is a knitted cardigan sweater designed by Two of Wands. This garment is crafted using the waffle stitch technique, which creates a textured, dimensional fabric with a distinctive raised pattern. The cardigan is available in multiple sizes and is constructed using circular knitting needles to create seamless or minimal-seam construction.
Knitting Techniques Used
This pattern employs several fundamental knitting techniques suitable for beginner-level crafters. The primary construction method uses circular needles worked flat to build the cardigan body and sleeves. Techniques incorporated include:
- Decreasing stitches using K2tog (knit 2 together) and SSK (slip, slip, knit) methods for shaping
- Stitch marker placement to track pattern repeats and construction sections
- Slip stitches for joining and finishing techniques
- Working with yarn held in front (wyif) and yarn held in back (wyib) to create stitch variations
Stitches Used
Waffle Stitch is the signature stitch featured throughout this cardigan. The waffle stitch is worked over a multiple of 3 plus 1 stitches and repeats over 4 rows:
- Row 1 (Right Side): K 1, *P 2, K 1, repeat from * to end
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): P 1, *K 2, P 1, repeat from * to end
- Row 3: Knit all stitches
- Row 4: Purl all stitches
This four-row repeat creates the characteristic textured waffle pattern. The stitch combines knit and purl stitches with stockinette sections to produce a three-dimensional fabric with excellent drape and visual interest.
Materials and Gauge
The Campsite Waffle Cardigan is designed to be worked in aran weight yarn. The pattern calls for Lion Brand Yarn Feels Like Butta in Brown (color 215-126), with yardage requirements ranging from 7 to 11 skeins depending on the size selected.
Needles Required:
- Size US 9 (5.5mm) circular knitting needles, 24 inches (60cm) or longer
- Size US 10 (6mm) circular knitting needles, 32 inches (80cm) or longer
Gauge: 17 stitches plus 24 rows equals 4 inches (10cm) when worked in waffle stitch on size US 10 (6mm) needles. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished dimensions.
Additional Supplies: Stitch markers or scrap yarn, stitch holders or scrap yarn, and a tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends and seaming.

Knitters Dream !
Bought a lovely pattern to use up a stash of Aran wool I had. Very easy to follow and detailed pattern.
Something for everyone.
The pattern is very easy to follow. I am returning to knitting after a very long break and enjoying this project immensely. It knits up very quickly and is perfect for a beginner.
