Free 72 Ply Caravan Yarn Pattern Book

72 Ply Caravan Yarn Collection

Some yarns are quiet. This one is not.

Inspired by the wonderfully mad spirit of the famous knitted caravan created for the 2013 Sydney Royal Easter Show by nine Nundle women, our 72 Ply Caravan Yarn comes with a story — and now, five ways to make it your own.

This free pattern book brings together our favourite big-knit projects, all worked in gloriously oversized Nundle Collection 72 Ply Caravan Yarn on giant needles. Fast-growing, deeply satisfying, and just a little theatrical, these are the projects that prove chunky knitting doesn't have to mean complicated knitting.

Inside you'll find:

• Basket Weave Throw Rug — a plush, sculptural rug worked in a two-colour basket weave, finished at approximately 122cm x 56cm
• Ribbed Shawl — a bold, generous ribbed wrap with beautiful drape, approximately 119cm x 38cm
• Single Cushion Cover — a mitred square cushion with wonderful texture, approx. 55cm x 55cm
• Chunky Cowl — a soft, lofty open-stitch cowl, approx. 20cm deep x 90cm circumference
• Chunky Beanie — a bold ribbed beanie in two sizes (S/M and M/L), finished with a statement pom-pom

Why Yarnistas Love It

Because giant stitches mean giant satisfaction. These patterns use only knit and purl — no fancy stitchwork required — so the yarn itself does the talking. Whether you're a confident beginner or a seasoned maker after a fast, textural win, this collection turns a single hank into a finished piece in record time.
