There’s something so special about a piece that feels both simple and quietly detailed, the Garden Glow Cardigan is exactly that. From the soft texture of moss stitch to the gentle rhythm of the stripes, this design came together in such a calming, satisfying way.
I wanted to create a cardigan that feels polished yet easy to wear, something you can throw on with anything and instantly feel put together. The fitted shape, classic button-up front, and short sleeves give it that effortless, everyday charm, while the texture adds just a little extra magic. A full video tutorial is on my YouTube Channel for The Garden Glow Cardigan crochet pattern. Be sure to check it out if you have questions!
The Boxy Blooms Cardigan quickly became a summer favorite and before I even released it I knew I would be making a pullover version. The Boxy Blooms Pullover is here to join it’s sister design!
It’s been on my list to make a collared shirt and I knew The Boxy Blooms Pullover would be perfect for it. It’s the same beautiful stitch repeat throughout. The neckline has a small V opening combined with the cute little collar. It’s hard to decide which one I like better, the cardigan or the pullover!
Every once in a while you make a crochet design that just works up perfectly how you envisioned it. That was definitely the case for The Echoes Cardigan crochet pattern. I was a little nervous to make a whole sweater with Mandala because of all the different color changes. Buuuut I am absolutely obsessed with how it turned out.
I made no adjustments to the yarn colors as I worked it up. No cutting the yarn and only joining when It was time to bring in a new skein. I just let it work up naturally! I think that’s part of the fun with this design. Each cardigan will be slightly unique in their own way, as far as colors go. Once my panels were all worked up I did decide which one would look best where. Because the left and right front panels are the same, as well as the sleeves, you can place them on either side. For example, I put my front panel with lots of red in it, away from the sleeve that has lots of red in it to help “balance” the look. Feel free to play around with what looks best!
Do you ever crochet something and just know it’s going to be one of your new favorite projects? That was me with The Whimsy Willow Cardigan crochet pattern! I had several skeins of the Khaki color in my stash and knew I had to make some sort of layering piece with it!
The Whimsy Willow Cardigan crochet pattern is created in 3 separate panels from the top down. You can easily adjust the placement of the tie and/or the length of the cardigan. Simply add or remove rows in multiples of 2 just before the tie section under the bust. If you want a longer or shorter cardigan, just add or remove rows in multiples of 2 before fastening off on each panel.
