Are you longing to crochet yourself something wearable but you’re too scared to try? I always have. And this is my first cardigan project, the first HUGE crochet project I undertook, and I succeeded. And so will you.

Do you want to crochet something you can wear every day without looking too different? I do, every day. And this cardigan is conventional enough to be a wardrobe staple yet unique enough to provide a sense of individuality. It evokes an old-world feel but it has sufficient class to stand as a timeless piece. Another dream-come-true for me!

About the Pattern

This pattern focuses on how to assemble and finish a cardigan using any lace pattern.

This is a recipe pattern, meaning, this is a formula that shows you how you can have your own lacy cardigan. The construction is based on your own choice of crochet lace rectangles and relies on the elasticity of crochet lace to create shape. This recipe requires some estimation because you are making a cardigan just for Y-O-U. But you don’t have to be afraid because this recipe allows a lot of room for errors.

Because I am a visual person, this pattern is most suited to a visual learner. It includes many diagrams, illustrations, and pictures in transferring meaning.
