Which do you prefer… Teatime? Or Ski Time? The Ski Time Pullover is the sister design to The Teatime Cardigan! I decided to go with my same stitch pattern but wanted to make this one a solid color for a more subtle look! But…I do reallllly want to see someone make this one with different color stripes! I think it would be so cute!!
I used Heartland yarn for this design which is one of my favorite soft and cozy yarns. It’s the same yarn I used for The Stony Shore Cardigan and The Pemberly Pullover! Be sure to check them out if you want more heartland design! There are a ton of colors in Heartland to chose from and it’s really easy to work with. No snagging or catching on your hook and the sheen is beautiful! If you want a free copy of this PDF pattern and want to use Heartland yarn, then be sure to purchase my kit for the best deal!
The Ski Time Pullover is worked from the bottom up in separate panels. You can easily add more rows if you want a longer sweater! Just add as many rows as you want before the neckline shaping on the front panel, then add the same amount to the back! It’s also written with several inches of positive ease, so no need to size up. I’m wearing a size small in the photos!
It’s Teatime! So obviously that means you need The Teatime Cardigan crochet pattern! This cardigan pattern gives all the cozy vibes. The Teatime cardigan features fun stripes using a unique blend of stitches, giving it a collegiate look. It has a slightly oversized fit with balloon style sleeves. There are so many color options to fit your style!
The construction of this cardigan is pretty beginner friendly. I do use a few different stitches for the stripes that you may have not used before but don’t be afraid! I have a full video tutorial on how to do these stitches if you need a little bit of extra help. They really are very simple to do once you get them down. The same stitch repeat is used on all of the panels.
One of the fun things about this cardigan is picking out the color combo that you want! There are so many options to do and I can’t wait to see what everyone picks! I used Color Theory yarn for my cardigan and I do have a kit available! You can customize the yarn colors if you purchase the kit. I have a couple of tips when working with stripes. When you change colors at the end of each row, you can crochet the next row directly over the tails of yarn for less ends to weave in! You can also crochet your trim directly over the tails of yarn. I like to tie my tails in a knot first before doing so.
Another great thing about The Teatime cardigan is the length is easy to adjust! You can simply add more rows to both the back and front panels if you want your cardigan longer. If you want it cropped, just remove rows. Do the same amount of rows to all 3 panels before fastening off.
If you like this cardigan then be sure to check out my others! I have so many that you would enjoy!
How are we already in this weird in between stage of summer and fall?! The end of summer is looming so that means my summer designs are also coming to an end. Luckily, The Palmar Pullover is perfect for this in between time!
The Picot Mesh stitch is one of my all time favorites for warmer makes! I think it’s one of yours too since The Zahora Cardigan was so loved! I used the Picot Mesh stitch for the Zahora and fell in love with the drape and comfy fit! After a few requests here and there for a pullover version I decided it was time to make one using Pima Cotton yarn! The Zahora used Lion Brand Comfy Cotton which is very similar to the Pima that I used here!
I wanted to give The Palmar Pullover a similar look to the Zahora with the speckled colors throughout a neutral base. Luckily, there is a few super cute options for the Pima yarn! I didn’t want it to be too overwhelming with color so I grabbed a neutral vintage and paired it with a colorful Seaglass! You might not even be able to see the striping, it’s so subtle! If you want to stick to solid stripes you can easily do that by picking 2 solid colors. Or, if you aren’t a fan of the stripes you can even make it in one solid color throughout! I definitely recommend grabbing the Lion Brand yarn kit so you can customize your look!
The Stony Shore Cardigan Crochet Pattern is here! I’ve been wanting to make something with this stitch for a long time and I’m glad I finally did it! I also knew immediately I would be doing a loose balloon style sleeve. I actually attempted it on my Sunset Bomber but it just didn’t go with the style. I’m sooooo happy that it worked out that way because they look AMAZING on this cardigan.
I’ve been posting sneak peeks of this sweater on TikTok and Instagram. The amount of crocheters that told me they couldn’t wait for this pattern was kind of insane. I can’t even begin to tell you all how much I appreciate the love and support on this design. It’s also a bit nerve wracking because I hope it lives up to the hype. I just want you all to love it as much as I do. Even my husband said this was his favorite sweater of mine and he is my toughest critic when it comes to crochet!! lol.
The Stony Shore Cardigan Crochet Pattern is worked in separate panels from the bottom up and is beginner friendly. Once you get the bead stitch nailed down it’s a breeze to make. You will alternate bead stitch rows and double crochet rows throughout. You can easily make your sweater longer or shorter by adding/taking away rows in multiples of 2 before tying off. Same with the sleeves!
If you are a complete beginner and need a little extra help then be sure to check out my full video tutorial!
I love the look of oversized V-neck button up cardigans. There’s just something about them that I find so appealing! They give me such comforting “grandpa” vibes haha. I knew I had to make one but put my own trendy spin on it. The Carl Cardigan is my cropped and a bit more girly version of this!
The Carl Cardigan is worked in separate panels from the bottom up. When you break it down into each piece tackling this sweater is a breeze. I used the same stitch throughout and have very beginner friendly shaping. I used Feels Like Butta which is one of my favorite soft yarns. It’s very smooth to work with and frogs back easily if you make a mistake!
I know some of us prefer to have our cardigans longer instead of cropped. Good news, it is super easy to make this longer! Just add as many rows as you would like to the back panel (in multiples of 2). Then, when you make the front panels, add the same amount of rows before you start decreasing! Remember, you will need extra yarn!
You might recognize the ribbing technique around this cardigan. I did the cuffs from The Pemberly Pullover the same way! You will be working the trim of the cardigan directly off the sides of the front panel. It might look a little intimidating at first, but when it comes down to it, you are just slip stitching to the panels as you go! If you are new to this technique be sure to check out my video tutorial where I show you exactly how to do it.
The secret is finally out!! My friend Meghan and I have been working on an awesome collab for you guys and we finally get to reveal it! The Luna Cardigan isn’t being released by herself. She has a knit sister design called The Lottie Cardigan!
The Luna (crochet) and The Lottie (knit) are both beginner friendly and available in sizes XS-5X! Although one is knit and one is crochet we designed them so that they would still be similar in look and fit! Both are free on our blogs and each have a full video tutorial! Not only that but they each are available as kits with Lion Brand! As always, the kit comes with the yarn to make your own cardigan + the PDF digital download of the pattern.
The Go For Fleece Sherpa yarn is so soft and amazing! Although it does take a tiny bit of practice working with fluffy yarn, the outcome is worth it! I have a full video tutorial available in case you need some extra help!
Is it Spring yet? I am so ready for warm weather! I’ve officially started working on my spring and summer designs and I’m so excited to share them with you! First up is The Wild Bloom Cardigan!
The Wild Bloom Cardigan is a fun oversized cardigan with a lace type stitch. I also was so excited to make it because it has short sleeves! No sleeve island over here!
You need worsted weight yarn for this cardigan. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease which has some really nice color options. You can purchase the kit which includes the yarn + the PDF pattern!
And of course, I made a YouTube video tutorial to go along with this pattern! If you are confused at any point or more of just a visual learner please check out the video.
I don’t know about you guys but I love a good cozy pullover! The Pemberley Pullover is a super fun make and goes with just about anything! I used one of my favorite worsted weight yarns for this one- Lion Brand Heartland! There are lots of colors to choose from and the yarn is super soft and easy to work with.
The Pemberley Pullover features a v-neck and ribbing at the cuffs and hem. I wrote the pattern to have plenty of positive ease so it fits with a boxy, slightly oversized look! You can easily add or take away length in this sweater by adding or removing rows. Be sure to check the notes section on this topic!
This is a pretty simple pullover pattern that I think even a beginner could do it. You will be working your front and back panel from the bottom up. The sleeves are worked bottom down.

It’s a brand new year so that means it’s time for a brand new crochet pattern! The Snowcap Cardigan is my very first design of 2021 being released even though i’ve had it in my brain for at least 6 months and sitting in my blog drafts for a couple of months! I’m so excited for this one and I hope you guys love it.
I like to think of The Snowcap Cardigan as the sister sweater to The Coffeeshop Cardigan. Both of them use homespun yarn but have a completely different look to them. I used the Thick & Quick version of Homespun for The Snowcap Cardigan instead of regular homespun. The Snowcap Cardigan is also boxier, oversized and cropped compared to the slimmer and longer Coffeeshop Cardigan! You can grab all the supplies you need from my friends at JOANN!
Are you scared of Homespun yarn?? Never fear!! I have a whole video tutorial walking you through this pattern. The Thick & Quick version is even easier to use than the normal version in my opinion. I use a larger crochet hook in this pattern which helps while working with this yarn. Not only that but I use easy stitches throughout and minimal shaping! Hot tip- FEEL your stitches instead of trying to see them!!
I’ve been making a lot of striped things lately if you haven’t noticed! When I saw a striped blanket at target with a similar color palette I knew I had to get my hands on some yarn and make something with it! I debated between a cardigan and a blanket for a bit but wasn’t a hard choice to go with a cardi! That’s how The Morning Coffee Cardigan came about!
The Morning Coffee Cardigan is a VERY beginner friendly pattern. It has no shaping and minimal seaming. I decided to add in some optional shaping only at the forearms. This cardigan is designed to have loose cuffs/sleeves. I know that some people prefer to have there sleeves tapered so I added that option just in case!
I also recommend leaving the tails of yarn long enough on the sides of the front/back panel so that you can use these to sew your panels together. This will help cut down on the ends you need to weave in. Another tip is when you are crocheting the trim, that you crochet directly over the ends of yarn. This way you can skip the weaving process.
