Hello, sweet pea! This week, I have a fun, crochet cardigan pattern that I just know you’re going to want to make! If you love the look of Granny Squares, you’re going to adore this modern design! Keep reading to learn more about this delightful, colorful cardigan!
Increscent was designed by Janica York Carter. When asked about her pattern, Janica said, “Classic granny squares become fashionable in a beginner-friendly cardigan with no sewing. Work two hexagons instead of squares in granny stitch, and then join them with rows of granny stitch at the center back. Lengthen the sleeves with more rounds of granny stitch, and add optional ribbed cuffs if desired. Increase body length with more rows of granny stitch if you wish. Finish by working granny stitches around the hem, front, and neckline. Weave in the ends (If you change colors often, you may want to tackle these in batches as you go), and snuggle into your cozy cardigan!”
This Adventurous Beginner level pattern is for crocheters who know how to work basic stitches and are ready to make a garment. Techniques include joining rounds and optional single crochet decreases and double crochet post stitches for ribbed cuffs.
Increscent is crocheted with our wonderful Luster Sport yarn. Once you’ve worked with Luster Sport, you’re going to fall head-over-heels in love with its yummy, squishy goodness! Luster Sport is a blend of 50% Superwash Merino Wool and 50% Lyocell, a plant fiber that provides the glow of silk without the price, and the shine is out-of-this-world stunning! Luster Sport has 395 yds/361 m per full-sized skein, and Luster Sport Mini has approximately 175 yds/160 m per 50-gram skein.
The Increscent cardigan is offered in sizes XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL), which correspond to finished chest circumferences of 32″ (36″, 40″, 44″, 48″) (52”, 56″, 60″, 64”) / 81 (91, 101, 112, 122) (132, 142, 152, 162) cm.
You’ll need 1 – 2 seven-skein Luster Sport Mini Kits and 2 – 4 skeins of full-sized Luster Sport, depending on your selected size. If you wish to make the body or sleeves longer, you will need additional yarn. The sample shown here is a size Small and is modeled on a 34” (86 cm bust). We used the Dried Herb Hues Luster Sport Mini Kit and Fanciful Luster Sport for our sample.
