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.

Summer Sea Cropped Cardigan Free Crochet Pattern

"The Summer Sea Cropped Cardigan is the perfect crochet cardigan for the warm season. It's written for 9 sizes, from XS to 5XL. The focal point of this cardigan is the lacy stitch details at the back, while the rest of the cardigan has a more classic look. It's made in 5 pieces, which makes it a perfect "grab go" project, which is really convenient during the season where everyone is typically spending more time outside. The lace stitches on the cardigan also makes it great for spring and summer, where the thickness of the cardigan isn't as important. "
