Hello, buttercup! This week, I have a simple, but beautiful, beginner friendly crochet cardigan to share with you. Cauley is a great, year-round layering piece! I hope you’ll keep reading to learn more about it.

Cauley was designed by Michelle Ferguson. When asked about this pattern, Michelle said, “The Cauley Cardigan is a beginner friendly, short sleeved cardigan. This cardigan is worked from the bottom up in one piece with just a tiny bit of seaming at the shoulders. You’ll find just basic crochet stitches used in this simple, but beautiful cardigan!”

This Beginner level pattern is for any crocheter who can work basic crochet stitches, including single crochet, half double, and double. A small amount of sewing at the shoulders is required, as well.Cauley was designed to be crocheted with our luxurious Crema Sock yarn, which is a luscious, shimmering, 4-ply sock yarn that is bouncy and long-lasting! With gorgeous drape, excellent structure, a soft hand, and a subtle glow, this yarn is lovely for socks, shawls, sweaters, accessories, blankets, baby items, and so much more! It is a dreamy yarn that takes the dye incredibly well, which results in fabulous, hand-dyed shades! This yarn is made from a blend of 70% Superwash Merino Wool and 30% Mulberry Silk with 350 yds/320 m per 3.5 oz/100 g skein.

The sample shown here was crocheted with color Fable Crema Sock and is a size Small modeled on a 34″ (86 cm) bust with 3″ (8 cm) of positive ease. The pattern is offered in sizes XS – 5XL, and you’ll need three to six skeins of Crema Sock, depending on the size you select.

We made a video tutorial showing how to work the repeating stitch pattern in this design. Take a look!

 

The pattern contains written instructions only.
