The Jenni cardigan is a dainty, dreamy, formfitting, super soft and light cardigan which is perfect for all seasons and can elevate every look. This cardigan will make your waist look snatched and accentuate your beautiful curves.

This pattern is named after the strongest woman in the world: my grandma. She is the most resilient, brave and cheery person I know. She can handle anything and I want to embody that when I wear this cardigan.

This cardigan is super customizable meaning that you decide if you want both sleeve and body ruffles, if you only want either the sleeve or the body ruffles, or if you don’t want any ruffles. You also have the option of making the cardigan a vest. I also guide you through making the ruffles more or less intense.

Right after purchasing, you will receive two downloadable PDFs: the crochet pattern and a lookbook.

This pattern is beginner-friendly as it is detailed, has photos of each step and a video tutorial on sewing the cardigan.

This pattern is “made to measure” which means you’ll make it according to your own measurements.

The cardigan works up pretty quickly. I can finish one in 2-3 days.

This pattern uses US terminology and the metric system.

Materials:

• I used lace weight mohair/silk blend yarn (78 % mohair and 28 % silk, 25g/210m) from Uldstedet (Danish store) but you can use any yarn weight and fiber (I used 125 g for my red size S/M one-standed cardigan).
• A crochet hook. The hook size depends on what yarn weight and fiber you use. I used size 6,5 mm for my red cardigan and size 6 mm for the grey and purple ones (yarn label recommended size 2,5-3). If you use lace weight mohair yarn like me, I recommend using the same crochet hook size. If you use another fiber, I recommend going for 1-2 sizes bigger than what the label recommends.
• 3-4 buttons or ribbon (optional).
• Scissors
• Stitch markers
• Measuring tape

Skills needed:

• Chaining
• Double crochet
• Single crochet
• Slip stitch
• Sewing (I’ve included a video tutorial)

You can find tutorials on YouTube for everything :)
