What’s better to kick off the new year than a brand new crochet cardigan?! The Kiah Cardigan is definitely in the top 5 of my favorite patterns. I hope you guys love it just as much as I do!
I used Heartland yarn for The Kiah cardigan. I love this yarn so much I try to design at least one awesome cardigan with it each year! This time I’m using the color Wolf Trap. I actually ordered this yarn a while back to make something completely different with it. When it came in the mail it had a pinker hue than what I was expecting and it didn’t go with the other colors on my project. It was absolutely beautiful though, so I shelved it for a later date. I’m so glad I kept it because I think it’s perfect for this design.
The Kiah Cardigan is worked from the bottom up in separate panels. You can easily make your cardigan longer or shorter by adding or removing as many rows as you want on the back and front panels. I think a cropped version would be super cute too! You might recognize the stitch used as the same one in my Winter Moonlight Set! I fell in love with the texture of it and knew that I had to make a cardigan!

I love the soft romantic vibes that The Wendy Cardigan gives. Somebody suggested the name Wendy for it on my name contest because it reminded them of Peter Pan and I totally see it. 🙂 It’s light weight and made of soft cotton which makes it perfect for warm weather. I’m excited to pair mine over sundresses this summer!
The Wendy Cardigan is worked from the bottom up in 3 separate panels. You can easily adjust the length of your cardigan by adding or taking away rows before you begin to decrease on the front panels. Make sure you adjust the same amount of rows on the back panel as well. I think this cardigan would look SO cute cropped. If you make a cropped version I would love to see it!
The stitch used in this cardigan is very similar to the classic V stitch but it does not have the Ch 1 in between the 2 Dc stitches. This is a great pattern to make and not have to use much brain power on the stitches! It’s just Dc stitches across the row, working them in between the 2 Dc from the previous row!

With the warm weather finally here, I’ve been wanting to make all the summer cardigans! I love working with open lace type stitches. Not only do they look super cute but they usually work up really quickly too. The Zahora Cardigan checks off both of these boxes!
I always aim for my designs to be beginner friendly and this one is no different. You will be creating 3 panels and working from the bottom up. Don’t let the picot stitches scare you! It actually goes really quickly. This cardigan is also easily customized. If you want your cardigan longer just be sure to add more rows in multiples of 2 before tying off your panel. Be sure you add the same amount of rows to each panel. If you want a more oversized look, just size up.
I love throwing on my Zahora Cardigan with any summer outfit. I think it looks super cute with jean shorts and a tee but would also be adorable over a summer dress. If I have time I’m totally going to make a longer version to wear over my bikini at the pool this summer!
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!
