Crocheted Cardigan Patterns I love
A quick round up of just a few of my favourite cardigan patterns in August 2020. Click on the designer’s name to go to their Ravelry.com store or on the image for that pattern to go to the pattern page on Ravelry.
The Curious Case of the Crazy-Stitch Cardigan
Michele says this can be made to any size, so doesn’t quote a size range and is part of an ebook collection which is great value. It’s crocheted with DK weight yarn and very adaptable in terms of fit/size.
Everyday Cardigan
This is a great basic cardigan to wrap yourself in while you’re lounging around the house or running errands. It uses Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice or similar heavy worsted/Aran weight yarn, 6.5mm/7mm hooks for a quick and easy project.
Lil Denim Cardi
Crocheted with Lion Brand Jeans, which sounds like it could be similar to Stylecraft’s Jeanie Aran yarn, this is an affordable yet stylish piece for every day. Sized XS to 3XL and it looks like it would be easy to upsize.
Conch Cardigan
I liked the dolman sleeves and casual shape of this one, I can see my friend Helen loving it and it might even talk her into doing some crochet. Sizing is based on the high hip measurement (where the bone is either side of your tummy) and runs from 30-55″. It’s fingering weight yarn which gives it an amazing drape, I really like this one.
Crocheted Goshen Jacket
by Doris Chan
I couldn’t talk about crochet cardigans without including Doris Chan, who I absolutely love. This one is made from a series of motifs and joined together for an interesting shape.
Soft Serve
by Doris Chan
I couldn’t resist this one, I’ve made two for my Mum (who loves them to bits) and one for myself, so easy to crochet, great pattern and fantastic result every time.
The Granite Cape
This is a fast project, Aran yarn on 6.5 and 7mm hooks. I’d use Vanna’s Choice, Wool-Ease or Heartland.
Candelaria
I almost included this in the knit collection when I look at patterns yesterday but when I looked again, I realised it was crochet and loved it even more. 4ply/fingering weight yarn, 3.5mm hook and with a wonderful drape, a great way to use up washable sock yarns.
Sandbar Cardi
by Toni Lipsey
Crocheted with Lion Brand Worsted Cotton, this is made bottom up and seamed for structure. Sized from S to 3XL.
Cobalt Cardi
by Lisa Gentry
I thought this was pretty for a summer’s day, sized S to 2XL using DK yarn.
Aster Overlay
Michele says it can be made in any size and it lists S to 4XL, using 4ply/Fingering weight yarn and a 4mm hook it’ll have fabulous drape. Lady Mary would love it.
Janelle
Worked top down, using sport weight yarn and a 5.5mm hook, this cardigan has fabulous drape. I’d use some Lanas Stop Bambini in Linen for a neutral cardigan.
Serge
by Donna Yacino
This pattern is free, sized from 36-56″ bust/chest and I really like the stitch pattern, simple yet effective. Drop sleeves, worked flat and bottom up. I like this denim colour, very easy to wear with jeans or a pretty dress.
I hope you like this latest round up of some of my many, many favourites and find something that you love as much as I do.
