Pumpkin Spice Cardigan Crochet Pattern: A Warm Embrace of Autumn

The ’Pumpkin Spice’ Cardigan is an autumn crochet project designed for crocheters who want to relax with meditative crocheting. It’s perfect for those who enjoy taking their project bag everywhere they go and love adding their personal touch to the designer’s instructions.

The Pumpkin Spice Cardigan is a charming twist on the classic hexagon cardigan, designed to bring warmth and style to your autumn wardrobe. This pattern focuses on a simple, repeating stitch design that emphasizes adaptability, allowing for endless customization. Whether you prefer a fitted silhouette or an oversized look, this cardigan invites you to express your personal style while keeping cozy.

Customizable Fit for All
One of the standout features of the Pumpkin Spice Cardigan is its versatility. This pattern accommodates sizes ranging from baby (even doll!) to 5XL for women, making it perfect for creating stylish garments for the entire family. With options for various edge treatments or even going edge-less, you can tailor the cardigan to your taste and needs.

For an oversized fit that corresponds to a US M/L size (see details below), I used nearly all of the 8 balls of DK weight yarn. However, don’t hesitate to experiment with different yarn weights. Opt for lighter yarn for a more delicate drape, or choose a thicker yarn for a quicker project. The flexibility in yarn selection allows for personal flair and practicality.

Materials and Techniques
The main body of the cardigan is crafted with light worsted yarn (size 3), utilizing a 4.5 mm (G-7) crochet hook. For the bottom cuff, plackets and collar, a 3.5 mm (E-4) hook is employed using the slip stitch technique. This combination ensures a cozy, textured finish.

The slightly rounded hem edges echo the shape of a pumpkin, adding a whimsical touch to the design. This cozy cardigan, with it’s repeating striped pattern, is ideal for layering during the crisp autumn months, making it a staple in any wardrobe.

This pattern is accessible for crocheters of all skill levels, offering detailed written instructions in US crochet terms (English language).
