Inspiration
The Cardigan wrap is inspired by the setting sun and all the beautiful colors it can create, almost like the sky is a watercolor painting. I wanted to try to capture this image into a wrap by blending multiple colors. As you can see in the pictures, I’ve tried to work the colors in a ‘natural’ order, just like you would get if the sun was setting.

As it is inspired by nature, it is part of my Poetry Collection. The pattern is therefore accompanied by a poem in the hopes that it gives more dimension to your crochet <3

Multi-purpose Cardigan and wrap
I also wanted it to be multi-purpose, an item you can wear in different ways so you can wear it throughout the year. The armholes are intentionally not in the middle, so you can vary with different styles: wear it with the armholes high for a long back, or wear it with the armholes low for a shawl collared cardigan. See the pictures for examples.

About the pattern

• A written pattern in US terms and Dutch
• Tutorial photos for the important details and for the joining instructions
• A chart for the main square pattern
• A schematic for where to place each colored square
• The squares are made with a two color linen stitch
• The squares are joined with a variation on the matress stitch, so the coloring of the join is invisible and does not take away from the coloring of the squares
• The wrap is finished with a multicolored border to make the most of your left-overs.
