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!!
The Streetlight Cardigan video tutorial will be split up into 4 parts. Part one covers the back panel. The second video covers the front panels. Part three will go over how to make the sleeves and the last video will show how to sew it together and add trim!
