Introducing a simpler version of the original Patchwork Party Cardi! This pattern uses the same concepts as the original with fewer total crocheted strips, which means less seaming for you.

You’ll lean heavily on the ombre self-striping yarn to create a subtle, painterly patchwork effect. Adjust the length, combine a few colors, add buttons––this is a straightforward pattern you can put your mark on using beginner garment-making skills.

Robust pattern PDF includes written pattern, photo tutorial and links to video tutorials that covers the main skills required.

*** Part 1 of the detailed video tutorial will be available Feb 3, 2022. Each Thurs in Feb, the next portion of the video tutorial will be released. Join the Make & Do Crew Patchwork Party Crochet Along beginning Feb 3 and crochet this sweater along with others in the M&DC community!

If you can’t wait to get started, you can find the link to purchase the complete printable PDF immediatly here.

Pattern is written in sizes XS, S/M, L/1X, 2X/3X, 4X/5X and uses a category 5, chunky weight yarn such as Lion Brand Scarfie or similar for the main body and a category 4 yarn for the ribbing.
