Mellow Waves is a relaxed fit, cropped crochet cardigan with short sleeves, designed for summer evenings, spring and autumn afternoons and those moments where you just need a little extra.
It uses a lace ripple pattern interchanged with a solid wave to create an elegant, yet casual jacket with plenty of drape and movement.
Skills Used:
The wave pattern, importance of stitch placement and construction make this suitable for intermediate level crocheters or advanced beginners looking for a challenge.
The pattern uses extended double crochet and chain stitches throughout. You will be working in rows with simple increases and decreases. The cardigan is worked top down from the shoulder seam, including working into both sides of a chain, with minimal seaming.
A stitch diagram for the ripple pattern is included.
Finished size:
The pattern is designed to be a relaxed fit, cropped in length. It is written in 9 sizes to fit bust 76cm-158cm. The cross back chest measurement (half bust) ranges from 45-90cm.
The pattern includes detailed measurements to help you in selecting a suitable size as well as schematic listing dimensions.
Materials:
You will need a 4.5mm crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge and a 4mm crochet or smaller hook for the trim round the front opening.
The pattern requires approximately 630(670, 760, 810, 890, 1040, 1080, 1090, 1160) metres of 4 ply / fingering weight yarn. The proportions of each colour of yarn used is included in the pattern as it varies with size
