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!
"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."

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 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!"
