One of my "off the cuff" creations, I used different stitch patterns with both open and close crochet stitches in rich colors that are appealing and eye-catching. To keep up with today's hectic lifestyle, this cardigan is crocheted in easy care acrylic yarn.
Warm Autumn to Spring, home, place of worship, office Cardigan Sweater in turquoise and deep coral - so easy to wear and care for in medium weight acrylic yarn. 4 Light blue opaque nugget craft buttons and 1 square royal blue craft button, off shape and square shapes add that little touch of interest to what could be a plain jane sweater.
The colors are eye-catching on their own, but they work perfectly together.
Hand crochet in 3 different stitch patterns evenly placed throughout. Note that the coral stripes in the back are of 2 different stitch patterns. The back also has an outward pleat in the center of the cardigan.
There are no designated buttonholes - just slip the craft bead button through one of the openings in the coral stripes.
Wear with jeans, casual slacks or skirts, can be worn without a coat if desired in early autumn or spring.
21 inches from the shoulder to the hem, 14.5 inches from the underarm to hem, 6.5 inches from shoulder to underarm, and the sleeve length is 15 inches from underarm to wrist, will fit up to a 40-inch bustline - the finished size is 43 inches around at the underarm.
Launder separately in cold water (NO BLEACH) or with other medium colored clothing and tumble dry no more than 20 minutes to prevent the stitches from stretching, lay flat to air dry or dry clean. NEVER LINE DRY. Hang from the waist (wood hangers are best) or lay flat. Use a slightly warm iron if necessary.
A refund is available if the item is returned to & received by me in UNALTERED, unused, undamaged & unlaundered condition within 15 days from my shipping date. If the sweater is damaged in shipping, you must return the shipping materials & the US Mail notice of damage. ALTERED CLOTHING BY THE CUSTOMER IS NON-REFUNDABLE
