Charlie Cardi

The Charlie Cardigan is a lightweight, summer top - perfect for beginners and up. This design is crocheted using a simple raglan technique that is worked from the top-down, making it seamless. It also features a ruffled hem and button closures along the center. Although this pattern is designed for a cropped length, it can easily be extended for a more modest silhouette. This pattern is a made-to-measure design, and can be adjusted to fit the wearer’s shape and preferences. Construction - Garment is crocheted top-down to create the yoke, arm-holes, and extended body portions - ruffles may be added for extra flare along with a button-band or i-cord ties. Lastly, sleeves of any length may be added along arm-holes. Yarn used in pattern is a DK weight, but this design can be replicated using *any* weight fiber & coordinating hook size. This pattern is also accompanied by a full length video tutorial (linked in PDF).
