"The Retro Cropped Cardi is a vintage-inspired little jacket, designed to keep you feeling warm and looking great! If you've never made a sweater before, do not fear. Easy stitches and shaping make this a great pattern for beginner garment makers. The main stitch is the extended single crochet - and there is a video tutorial for the stitch included below! Prefer a longer, “non-cropped” sweater? Just add more rows to each piece - just remember to add the same number of rows to the back and both fronts! The Retro Cropped Cardigan is just that easy. Do also remember to add that extra length into your side seams, and purchase additional yarn if needed. And if you prefer a different sleeve style, instructions for that are included too!"

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.

This Cropped Cardigan has been designed and tested for sizes XS through to 5XL! The back and two front pieces are made separately and then joined together after they are made. The inside ribbing is done at the end! It's mostly double crochet stitches so this pattern works up super quickly for a last minute addition to your wardrobe! The Cropped Cardigan is the perfect accessory in the summer. Great to add for an extra layer in the evening without adding too much. It's a great quick addition for your wardrobe since double crochet stitches are the main stitch used and the fact that this cropped cardigan is half the size of a normal sweater!
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.
All Hearts Cardi Free Crochet Pattern
"This cardigan uses simple repeats and increases to create an easy to follow pattern that also allows for plenty of room to customize your piece. It is sized for XS - XL but can be made to fit your unique figure using just a few additional stitch increases, or by adding rows. The cropped length definitely makes this cardigan a quick piece, and making it in smaller panels gives you a great sense of accomplishment in a shorter period of time! It is a great piece for winter as the dense stitch pattern and bulky yarn make it super warm and cozy. It is a great piece for transitioning into spring as you can layer it over a dress for warmth on cool mornings or evenings, and keeping it open allows for extra breathability if needed. I've loved wearing it with jeans and tank tops, long sleeve shirts, and even with a few of my favorite dresses (with tights since there is at least a little winter weather lately)!"
