The Genesis Cardigan Free Crochet Pattern
Sweaters and Cardigans
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.
V-Stitch and Shell Stitch Crochet Poncho
Sweaters and Cardigans
This crochet poncho has one of the simplest construction methods ever. Basically, you just crochet one large rectangle, then you seam two ends together to make an asymmetrical poncho. What makes it special is that you begin with a selvage edge foundation chain; there are instructions, including a link to the video. Then you work rows of crochet V-stitch on one side of the chain, turn it around and work rows of shell stitch in the other. This design gives you a different texture on either side of the poncho.
The Sideways Crochet Jumper
Sweaters and Cardigans
"I have not taken this crochet jumper off- my Sideways Jumper- is a free pattern on the blog. Check out my blog post, read about the construction or scroll down for the free crochet jumper pattern. The construction of this crochet jumper is slightly different because I have literally turned it on its side! As a result you get vertical lines of stitches running through the jumper. These are great because they frame your silhouette and create a nice flowing garment. The main body of this crochet jumper is worked in rows running from neck to waist. I have used half double crochet stitch worked through the third loop only because I just love this stitch. As a result you get a ribbed crochet jumper that looks knitted."
