"For days when you need another layer, but a sweater is too much, Your Dusk Hooded Vest is the perfect crochet piece to grab from your closet. The loose fit and flat open front allow it to pair nicely with almost any top you own. An oversized hood adds interest to the back (and protects your hair when you get caught in the rain!), and a contrasting lace detail adds a touch of femininity."
"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."
"This Cardigan was inspired by a cardigan I made last fall which was a full flared cardigan. I have always wanted a cardigan with a zipper, plus the ease of putting on and off provided by the zipper made me more inclined to designing this pattern, though the option of adding buttons is provided. This cardigan is perfect for all seasons, as you can pair it with a Jean and even a boot. This pattern is easy to follow as it is a repeat of basic stitches but won't bore you as its got a beautiful texture, which made me love it so much and couldn't resist making a matching Beanie and Cowl, you can find the duo HERE "

"The Sunset Sweater is a fitted crochet pullover with the coziest cowl neck. The Trinity Stitch lends this crochet sweater its gorgeous texture. Easy to wear everyday or dress up for an evening out. This sweater is so cozy and comfortable. The stitch features really pop in the light colors. The Sunset Sweater name was inspired by my color choices. Sunset is such a lovely time of night, and a perfect time to snuggle up in a warm sweater. I've had the navy and blush colors in my stash for some time and knew I wanted to pair them. The mustard and cream were the perfect compliments and created that gentle sunset look."
"This pattern combines two basic Tunisian stitches: the Tunisian simple stitch and the Tunisian purl stitch. Together they form a honeycomb stitch! Also, I love how in Tunisian crochet there is a forward pass and a return pass and I love playing around with bold, statement colours. So, when I was on my summer holiday this year (in my own backyard), I tried to use two different colours for the forward and the return pass and loved it so much I wanted to share it with the world - and see if I could design a garment. Encouraged by my CROMIES - a lovely group of other crocheters and designers I have met on the gram - and by Lion Brand, who kindly agreed to sponsor me with the yarn, I have designed this Tunisian Crochet sweater."
"This even moss stitch sweater pattern is beginner friendly to intermediate. With a companion video tutorial, I'm confident it's accessible to everyone. It makes for an incredibly warm and cozy sweater WITH POCKETS! I used a super bulky #6 yarn and an 8mm hook. It's a 1 row repeat, made in seven panels and sewn together. If you're unfamiliar with the even moss stitch, I have included a brief stitch tutorial on here as well. Enjoy!"
Cosy and chunky, there's nothing like a classic bomber jacket! The oversized fit and open stitches work together to create a modern crochet cardigan. Using super bulky yarn, this bomber jacket works up quickly and features signature balloon sleeves with a chunky ribbed hem. This pattern is classed as an easy/intermediate because the pockets make it a bit trickier to crochet but there is also a handy video tutorial to help you! You can also make a version of this cardigan without pockets (alteration instructions provided in the pattern) which is great for beginners or first-time garment makers.
"Mathilda's easy crochet cardigan pattern is a fun beginner-friendly woman cardigan pattern. The oversized puffed sleeves and elegantly fitted waistline make it a great item to have in your wardrobe. Warm and comfy with an elegant touch. Use fun bright colors like me or more classic natural tones to match any outfit."
