Materials Required:
- Soft, super chunky yarn (Colors used: Pink and Gray)
- Crochet hook
- Stitch markers
- Measuring tape
Sizing and Measurements:
- Measure a cardigan/jumper that fits well (or take body measurements) for the back panel, sleeve length, and shoulder width.
- Allow for some shrinkage in your yarn, adding about 5 cm to your measurements.
Pattern Instructions
Back Panel:
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain the desired length for the back panel (approx. 48 cm to account for shrinkage to 45 cm).
- Chain up 2, skip two, then half double crochet (HDC) do ¾ of the chain length for a solid color before changing colors.
- Introduce a new color by tying on and crocheting HDCs along with bringing the initial yarn color along.
- Continue with HDCs into the back loop only for the texture.
Front Panels (Make 2):
- Chain 30 (or your desired width), creating a mirror of the back panel with adjustments for the front opening, using back loop HDCs.
- Attach both front panels to the back panel at the shoulders with slip stitches.
Sleeves (Make 2):
- Start with a slip knot, chain the length of your sleeve plus allowance for shrinkage.
- Insert HDCs until 10 stitches before the end, then switch to slip stitches to create a cuff.
- Repeat the back loop slip stitches and HDC combination to achieve a "balloon" sleeve effect.
- Sew the sleeves to the body of the cardigan, ensure to align them properly for symmetry.
Assembly:
- Attach front and back panels at the shoulders.
- Sew the sides and sleeves closed, aligning them properly.
- Use the back loop only method for a ribbed design texture.
