I have to say it right from the start, this cropped cardigan is my favorite piece so far! I wanted to create a cozy and soft cardigan jacket that I could wear with all my dresses. So It needed to be short and cropped to hit high at the waist. I also wanted it flowy and added big balloon arms that are 3/4 sized to keep my hands free.

For the yarn, I chose this beautiful soft velvet from Bernat. It is thinner than your regular velvet to keep this cropped crochet cardigan cozy but still lightweight and airy. Perfect for a cool supper breeze.
