The Marigold Cardigan features a relaxed, loose fit, making it perfect for a wide range of outfits and occasions. It’s an incredibly versatile piece that can be worn as a jacket when it’s warmer or as a comfy cardigan on those chilly days. While I originally designed this cardigan with autumn in mind, it has quickly become a favorite all year round.

This cardigan is an advanced beginner pattern written in US terms. The pattern combines simple half double crochets with rows of the long caramel stitch. A stitch I designed specifically for the Marigold cardigan, inspired by the way colors bleed into each other. A detailed step-by-step picture instruction of the long caramel stitch is provided.

You can use up to five different colors, allowing you to give your cardigan the look that suits you most. The pattern will tell you exactly how much yarn of each color you will need.

This pattern is available in English and Nederlands.
