The best part? The cardigan is crocheted conveniently from top to bottom – which means for you: no tedious sewing together of countless individual pieces! Plus, the pattern is incredibly easy to adapt to any desired size. Whether for yourself, your partner, or as a gift, this unisex model is an absolute eye-catcher.
Two versions: The perfect model for every season
Since one can never really have enough cardigans, you can adapt this project directly to the respective season. You have the choice between two beautiful versions:
🌸 The summer model (airy & light) Perfect for balmy summer evenings.
-
Yarn: 2x 4-ply gradient yarn cake (e.g., McLana in the color "Dark Red", 750 m per ball). For size L, you need approx. 1500 m.
-
Needle size: 3 mm
The autumn/winter model (cozy & warm) Ideal for when the days get shorter and cooler again.
-
Yarn: 7-8 balls (à 100 g / 190 m length, e.g., Wollbiene Batik). For size L, you need approx. 1400 m.
-
Needle size: 5 mm
What other materials you need:
In addition to your favorite yarn and the appropriate crochet hook, you should have the following ready:
-
A sewing needle (for the few loose ends that remain at the end)
-
A pair of scissors
-
A tape measure (for individual size adjustment)
-
4 stitch markers
What you should know: Don't worry, the pattern is absolutely beginner-friendly! You just need to master the basics: chain stitches, single crochets, half double crochets, double crochets, and slip stitches.
