"With its urban style and a casual fit, the comfy, New Eastside cardigan may become your go-to jacket for spring and fall! The simple construction is almost seamless, with limited shaping, patch pockets, and an optional zipper. New Eastside was designed with Lion Brand Scarfie yarn, which I received free from Lion Brand for the design. It's a bulky, wool blend yarn that works up quickly for a warm, soft, and fluffy fabric. The self-striping yarn, combined with the construction of the sweater creates the unique combination of stripes and color blocking."

Techniques you'll need to make this cardigan include double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch, and chain stitch."

It'll keep you warm and cozy no matter how long the cold temps stick around. This pattern comes in 9 sizes, XS - 5X, to make it easy to find what works for you"

The crochet bead stitch is one of my favorite stitches to design around. It looks a little fancy, but if you can single crochet and double crochet, you can certainly make the bead stitch.

This pattern is fairly easy/ beginner friendly.

"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!"
