Crochet Kit - Boxy Blooms Cardigan

I love the way this yarn works up. There was a learning curve when I started using it, because it will split like crazy, but once you get into the groove, it is smooth sailing. I have repurchased this in different colors 3 times. My latest was for the Boxy blooms cardigan. It has a great flow and drape to it and when I wear it, someone always gives a compliment. I would have never picked this yarn for this pattern, but I like to use the recommended yarn for any patterns I use and this was a win. I did make one of the front shoulders the wrong direction and had to frogg and re0do, but it is a very fun stitch to do and I did not mind it. The button holes were a little big for the buttons I purchase but that was a quick fix. I made this on our vacation in Europe so I was happy to be able to wear it on my trip. It was a vey quick project. It looks complicated, but it was pretty easy to figure out and remember the pattern.

I’ve completed over a dozen crochet patterns by Evelyn and Peter, and every single one has been exceptional. The directions are so clear, and the way she combines multiple simple stitches to create a more elaborate one creates such a beautiful end product. I also loved having another reason to use Caboo, one of my favorite yarns. Thank you for another beautiful finish!

I especially like this sweater, as it works so well for short-waisted people (like me!).

Like the pattern

Love the pattern , yarn sorft but splits a lot when you crochet .

I usually don't wear cardigans in summer but this one is just too cute to pass up. I chose the olive color for it and love the result.
