Beyond
I designed this cardigan to be the first garment for a crocheter looking to expand their skills. The name “Beyond” signifies the journey beyond the swatch, the blanket, or the baby item. This garment is for you to expand your skills in crochet and achieve a sophisticated look without stressing over unfamiliar charts.
Sizes available:
32” to 52” bust. This is a pattern for 11 sizes. It’s written, not charted.
This cardigan is made up of 5 pieces that are seamed together at the end. The neckband and button bands are then worked.
The cardigan has 6cm/2.25-13cm/5.25in positive ease, a gentle set-in sleeve, and a relaxed v-neck collar. You can either make it as an open front cardigan, or allocate buttons for a more fitted look. There are instructions for both options!
Only two stitches are used throughout to create different textures. With nothing but half double crochet to worry about for most of this cardigan, you can focus on stitch counts and measurements.
Materials
- Keld Aran by Eden Cottage Yarns (90% superwash merino/10% linen). 180m/196yd per 100g/3.5oz. Sample shows yarn in Steel colourway. Meterage/yardage on this chart gives estimates based on recommended yarn.
- Depending on your chosen yarn, you may need more or less than this.
- 5mm (US H) crochet hook or sizes needed to meet gauge.
- 5 removable stitch markers for buttonholes (optional)
- Darning needle for seaming and weaving in ends
- 5 2.5cm/1in buttons (optional)
Gauge
14 hdc sts and 10 rows = 10cm/4in using 5mm (US H) hook
Please take time to swatch for gauge. If there are fewer stitches in your swatch than suggested, go up by 0.5mm increments until you achieve gauge. If there are more stitches than shown above, increase your hook size by 0.5mm increments until you achieve gauge..
