Have you ever been mesmerized by the beauty of a gradient ombré yarn cake and bought it without a project in mind? And now it’s sitting on your shelf, waiting for your inspiration? Look no further because you have found a perfect project for your lonely yarn cake!

The long-sleeved V-stitch cardigan is the perfect cover for warmer days. The end-result is eyecatching due to the ombré, yet breathable and comfortable to wear.

✨ PRODUCT INFO ✨

The pattern is written in US terminology.

This project is perfect for gradient yarn cakes and below you’ll find a few examples:
Cotton Kings Sultan Deluxe & Deluxe Shine
Hobbii Twister & Twister Glitter
YarnArt Rosegarden
YarnArt Flowers & Flowers Moonlight

What is needed:

• ombré yarn cake (approx. 1000m)
• accent color (for ribbing and border, however, it is optional)
• crochet hook (sizes 3.5mm and 4mm)
• darning needle
• stitch markers
• scissors

This is a no sew pattern! The cardigan is constructed top down in the raglan style. The pattern is made to measure, so you will need your own measurements and need to do your own calculations. Because of this, the pattern is recommended for intermediate and advanced crocheters. The pattern is detailed and there will be lots of pictures to help you with the construction.

I used Hobbii Cotton Kings Sultan Deluxe Shine yarn cake to crochet the cardigan and Alize Bella yarn to crochet the sleeve ribbing, bottom ribbing and front border.
