Pattern Description
The Hayden Cardigan has been created from a beautiful crochet shell puff motif and I am totally in love! The cardigan is made in one piece with only two side seams to sew. First the back panel is stitched, followed by two front panels worked directly onto the back panel. Sleeves are crocheted onto the armholes. A single crochet edging around each sleeve cuff, along the bottom and inside edges completes the look. This cozy cardigan is perfect to wear with jeans, leggings or a dress. I have included six handy video tutorials to help you through the pattern, though this design requires basic crochet skills and knowledge. Keep in mind that I have used a cotton yarn so if you choose some other material, the drape may be different. Make sure to check out the Hayden Bonnet!
