Shell Stitch Cardigan
Striking the sweet spot between comfort and style, this crochet cardigan is sure to become a staple in your closet. Stitched in Red Heart Super Saver Bitty Stripes, the pattern is worked flat in pieces and then seamed together. Short rows of color come to life on a backdrop of delicate shell stitches as you practice chain stitch, single crochet, shell stitch, and double crochet techniques. A relaxed fit and front ties give this garment an easy, casual vibe. Wear it over a dress, top, or your favorite jeans.
