PATTERN INFORMATION

This cardigan is very beginner-friendly, with a simple boxy shape and a slightly oversized, cropped fit and shaping for a drop shoulder. It is worked from the back hem to the front hem in one piece (no short rows) with the option to add more length. The button bands, neckline, and sleeves are picked up and worked separately. After finishing the back panel, it gets split into three sections: one for the right front panel, one for the neckline and one for the left front panel. Each front panel is worked separately, whilst the remaining stitches for the neckline are kept on hold. The button bands are worked to create six buttonholes, after which the stitches for the neckline are picked up again. The sleeves are picked up along the sides of the cardigan and worked in the round to the cuffs, again with the option to add more length. Only the sides of the body need to be sewn together at the end.

One size.

MATERIALS

220g Hobbycraft Leader of the Pack (100 g = 169 m)

(90g colour 1, 60g colour 2, 70g colour 3)

Any Aran weight, brushed acrylic yarn will work best for this; the fluffier the yarn, the less obvious the gaps between the stitches will be, and the warmer the hood will keep you. Alternatively, you can hold a strand of mohair or similar together with a smoother main yarn to achieve the same brushed/fuzzy effect. e.g. Hobbii Fluffy Day, Stylecraft Grace, James C. Brett Aztec Aran

Crochet Hook 4 mm [US G/6– UK8]

GAUGE

The gauge doesn’t necessarily matter for this project, especially if you’re working with a different yarn and hook size. Just crochet more or less rows per square to reach the required measurements.

PATTERN INFORMATION

The skirt has a low waist, A-line shape and is crocheted top to bottom, following different crochet diagrams to create the stitch patterns. Increases are added in some rows to widen for the hips. Ties will be added to the waistline to make the skirt fit more snugly around the waist.

MATERIALS

SIZING

1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10) to fit waist size 50-55 (60-65, 70-75, 80-85) (90-95, 100-105, 110-115) (120-125, 130-135, 140-145)cm / 20-22 (24-26, 28-30, 32-34) (36-38, 40-42, 44-46) (48-50, 52-54, 56-58)”

If you’re in between sizes, I recommend sizing up. The skirt will have a tie added at the end to make the waist fit tighter if needed. Most importantly, the waistband should fit over your hips comfortably. You get the chance to make any sizing adjustments after crocheting the first row.
