Marlowe Cardigan

The Marlowe Cardigan is a lightweight crochet cardigan pattern designed for easy summer layering. Worked in one piece with no shaping, the combination of filet squares and open treble mesh creates a breathable fabric that’s comfortable to wear while still giving a little extra coverage on cooler summer days. With short sleeves, a relaxed oversized fit, and simple repeating stitches, Marlowe is a relaxing project that’s easy to crochet and easy to wear. The open-front design layers beautifully over tops, dresses, and everyday outfits throughout spring and summer. > This pattern is free to view on my blog (ad supported): https://www.jerasjamboree.co.uk/lightweight-crochet-cardigan-pattern-marlowe/ /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS DK #3 weight yarn: 707, (793, 964, 1,049) yds 4mm crochet hook Stitch markers Scissors Yarn needle To Fit Chest (inches) Finished Size Width approx.
