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!
