Total lake house vibes with my new cardigan crochet pattern! When I heard that name suggestion it was definitely a no brainer. The Lake House Cardigan is the perfect layering piece in the summer. Or really anytime of the year! It has a long flowy fit with an open lace stitch repeat. Plus, the Truboo yarn makes it extra silky. I can totally picture myself wandering around a summer house on the lake, sipping a glass of wine and crocheting by the water. Can’t you?
The construction of The Lake House Cardigan is very simple. 3 long rectangles, worked as long or as short as you want them! It’s super easy to adjust the length of this cardigan to your liking. After that, we just seam the shoulders together, then seam the sides together leaving a hole for our arms! Then the sleeves and the trim are added last.
Of course if you are a beginner or need a little extra help, I have a full video tutorial available for you! I go over step by step how to make your cardigan. I’m making a size small in the video so be sure to follow along with the written pattern, especially if your making a different size!
If you are using Truboo yarn like me, then you’ll notice it does stretch a bit with the weight of the cardigan as you go. The gauge listed below is a blocked gauge. So when you make your gauge swatch you’ll want to be just slightly under gauge. When you block your swatch it stretches to meet the correct gauge listed. I pinned mine and did a steam block. If you want to make your gauge unblocked it will be closer to 19 Dc by 11 rows for 4×4″
I hope you guys enjoy working up this cardigan! It was so fun to make and I love the finished piece! I have lots of other cardigan patterns available so be sure to check them out!
