The Sailor Cardigan Crochet Pattern

You already know I had to make ONE more summer design before the chilly weather arrives. The great thing about The Sailor Cardigan is that it’s perfect for layering! Toss it on while in the office or better yet, while relaxing out on a boat in the ocean with the cool breeze blowing in your hair…one can dream right?!

My favorite thing about The Sailor Cardigan is that it is made from side to side! It only requires one tiny section of seaming on each side of the cardigan. The vertical rows give it a really pretty striped look. The sleeves are super oversized, they remind me of a sail! See what I did there? haha!

If you are a beginner and need a little extra help or you just prefer a visual, be sure to check out my video tutorial on YouTube! I’ll walk you through step by step on how to crochet your Sailor Cardigan.

Pattern: Spring Beanie and Headband

I made Evie a new headband the other night using Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Cotton Yarn! It is SO soft and one of my favorite yarns to work with. I had plenty of yarn leftover so I decided to make Penelope a matching beanie to go with it! The color I chose is very springy and the light-weight cotton is perfect for the current weather! My favorite part is that I was able to make both the headband and beanie for less than one skein of yarn. Both patterns are very simple and beginner friendly.

Materials:

  • Worsted weight cotton yarn. I used One skein of Hobby Lobbys I love This Cotton! in Pastel.

Pattern: Mandala Coasters

So I’ve been obsessed with mandalas lately and had a bunch of cotton yarn I wanted to use so I made some cute mandala coasters! These are really fun and easy to make. I used a free pattern from Ravelry. Instead of making the entire mandala I stopped after round 4 and they are the perfect coaster size. I used Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton yarn and just mixed the colors with each coaster.

Materials: 

Lily Sugar’n cream cotton- 4 colors

Crochet hook size 2.5mm

yarn needle
