Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Crochet: Beyond Rectangles »

Instructions

Take your crocheting skills beyond the scarf and afghan--creating garments is not a far jump from there, and it's extra fun on a miniature scale.

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Children

Style: Classic, Cute, Traditional


Materials

Berroco Pure Pima, crochet hook, yarn needle, buttons

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to create a simple garment that would demonstrate some of the things you need to know to make garments, like shaping, blocking, seaming, etc.

What are you most proud of?

I love how classic this cardigan is--it can be for either gender, and will always look fresh and timeless. Plus, it's so open to embellishing it with a personal touch.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Give it a shot! Making garments is a lot of fun!
