Please welcome this NEW crochet design that wants to become your wardrobe essential for every occasion!

Whether you like wearing modern and dynamic clothing or opt for a classic look, this timeless cardigan will elevate your outfit! It features edgy hemline and a textural geometric design. Delicate outstanding lines worked over the entire piece merged together into these Art Deco stylized ornaments. Characterized by its sharp-edged looks and stylized geometric patterns the Art Deco represented elegance, wealth, and sophistication.

Body is worked in one piece without shoulder seams, side seams offer a great opportunity to insert optional inseam zippered pockets. Once the body is finished, stitches are picked up along the edge and sleeves are worked from drop shoulders to the desired length.

You can choose two styles for BACK:

Or create a sleeveless VEST:

In both style and texture, this VEST or CARDIGAN pattern will be interesting for intermediate and experienced crocheters. All crochet testers of this pattern have followed either WRITTEN instructions or CHARTS and grasped this design pretty easily. For less experienced crocheters I’ve added 2 VIDEOS on how to crochet all stitches, add collar, sleeves, edging and sew side seams.

Thank you very much to my talented and very attentive testers who helped to bring this new idea faster to YOU, especially @kmendlar, @yarnonahook whose beautiful garments you can see below:

The PDF on 23 pages includes:

► row-by-row written instructions for sizes S-4XL (see yardage for each size below),
► link to youtube videos that show how to crochet these stitches, add collar, sleeves, edging;
► charts (stitch diagrams).

Gauge in cardigan/vest: 13 dc by 9 rows. I crochet/knit all my swatches separately, usually in the middle of each project, wash them, let them dry flat, and then measure my swatches without stretching the stitches.

Yarn for cardigan: Sport weight / 5 ply / category by yarnstandards.com is 2: Fine (see yarn suggestions on Ravelry).

Yarn for scarf: Fingering / 4 ply / category by yarnstandards.com is 1: Super Fine. 1100 meters = 1200 yards were used for the sample shown.

The best way of supporting pattern designers is CROCHETING their patterns

and not buying/downloading them in tonnes :).

That is also the reason of why I don’t give discounts on multiple patterns – I want to save your money and not lengthen your never-ending queue of patterns :).
