Starlight Cardigan

***This pattern is currently only available in the book Tunisian Crochet Tops: 14 Beginner-Friendly Patterns for Colorful Sweaters, Tanks, and Tees by Ashley Rivas.*** Read more about the book [here][1]. **About** This cardigan was specifically designed for the starry-eyed crocheters. It’s a lightweight transitional piece with a slight academic aesthetic. I wanted to design a piece with the star stitch for the readers and the dreamers, and I couldn’t be more excited about the result! The crewneck shape and texture of the star stitch combine to make a truly unique cardigan- one that is both traditional in shape and dreamy in style. Pick out your favorite autumn-themed colorway, press play on an audiobook, and crochet your new favorite cardigan. **Skill Level:** Intermediate **Finished Bust:** XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) 32” (36”, 40”, 44”, 48”) (52”, 56”, 60”, 64”) 80 cm (90 cm, 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm) (130 cm, 140 cm, 150 cm, 160 cm) **Recommended Ease:** 2” to 4” (5 cm to 10 cm) **Yarn** Fingering weight, Unicorn Solid by Hobbii (75% superwash merino wool, 25% polyamide), 437 yds (400 m) per 100-g skein, Teal (23) colorway **Yardage/Meterage** 4 (5, 5, 6, 6) (7, 7, 8, 8) hanks of Unicorn Solid or 1740 (1850, 2040, 2250, 2410) (2770, 2990, 3300, 3370) yds / 1590 (1690, 1865, 2055, 2205) (2535, 2735, 3020, 3080) m **Hooks** *Note: Use hook sizes below or sizes needed to meet gauge* Body & Sleeves: US H-8 (5 mm) Tunisian crochet hook with 10” to 24” (25 cm to 61 cm) long cord Ribbing: US 7 (4.5 mm) crochet hook **Notions** Stitch markers Tapestry needle Scissors 6 Buttons, 7/16” (11 mm) in diameter (optional) ***For exclusive pattern discounts, join the mailing list at TinyCouchCrochet.com*** If you enjoy making this pattern, and would like to share, please use the hashtags #TunisianStarlightCardigan and #TunisianCrochetTopsBook and tag @TinyCouchCrochet on instagram.
