Hudson Cardigan - Free Crochet Pattern

Find the INEXPENSIVE AD-FREE PDF for this pattern on Etsy HERE.
Today I have a unique garment for you all, the Hudson Cardigan uses a textured stitch called the “Soft Cluster” once blocked gives a BEAUTIFUL drape and gorgeous look. I discovered this stitch when my Father in Law found a crochet stitch book in his storage room. I am sadly the only one in my family who crochets or knits, but on the bright side I was instantly given this amazing book!
Olive This Cardigan
Looking for a cute and stylish oversized cardigan for this fall? Well look no further! The Olive This Cardigan is the perfect match for all your needs. This cardigan is made using the Floret Stitch, which creates the perfect amount of texture for this garment. The design is worked from side to side, and the front panels are folded down so that the shoulders can be seamed. Then, the sleeves are worked directly onto the cardigan. This method means there are fewer seams! So, if you hate seaming as much as I do, this is definitely the cardigan for you! Worked up with weight 4 yarn and a 5mm hook for the majority of the garment, this cardigan virtually flies off your hook. You'll have this beauty done in no time at all. And, with how quick it works up, you'll be able to make them for gifts, too!

The Genesis Cardigan Free Crochet Pattern
The genesis summer kimono cardigan has a richly varied structure. Also, its beautiful color bands highlight the alternating voids and denser stitches. Overall, it's a beautiful, casual and playful cardi for everyday.

I wanted something colorful and summery, which can be hard to find when crocheting/knitting. This pattern came to be when I was reading the story of Joseph and The Coat of Many Colors. Now, I'm not going to go into the whole story of Jacob gifting the coat to Joseph, But this particular coat meant a lot to the people of this time. A piece of clothing with different colors represented worth and leadership.
