Cosy, comfortable, elegant wrap cardigan with lovely balloon sleeves to keep you warm all year around. Now updated with instructions on how to add stripes and make it in mohair! The Cherry Blossom Wrap Cardigan is your perfect garment to look elegant and comfortable all year round. You decide yourself how much you want to be able to wrap it by adjusting it to fit your body. The pattern guides you through how.

It is worked top down as a raglan and requires minimal sewing. 

The use of DK weight yarn makes the cardigan elegant and portraits the details of the ribbing elegantly. If you prefer you can also make it holding 2 strands of mohair - please note that you’ll need twice the amount of yarn!

If you choose to add stripes the version in the pictures have colors in ration 2: 2: 2.5 : 1

The pattern is easy but the ribbing is more for an intermediate crochter, however the pattern include an alternative ribbing to make it easier and fit also the more advanced beginner (and when you’ve made it all the way to the ribbing your skills are at the level that you can handle the more advanced ribbing as well. But you choose!). 

Also check out my blog post on coffeeandcrocheting.com on how to crochet a raglan for extra tips and tricks. The pattern includes many photos and detailed written instructions to guide you through.
