Crochet Cardigan: Kram Cardi

I finally finished the Kram Cardi
I found it online as a FREE crochet-along
The Kram Cardi crochet-along can be found HERE

The directions and diagrams were very clear and easy to understand.
A very thorough crochet-along. It was my very first, and I would consider
following along again making the sweater in a solid colour. 





 I followed the instructions as stated in the pattern. I had to adjust the length, as I am short!

I used a value yarn with a 5mm Hook. The yarn I used was thicker than the one used in the pattern.

The size I crocheted based on the pattern worked out to be about a size bigger. (I.E I crocheted a size SMALL listed in the pattern, but the dimensions were a size MEDIUM)

A fun sweater that didn't take too much time at all!

A BIG thanks to the designer Katy Petersen

I liked the detail on the trim so much that I made a small blanket with the same pattern and left over yarn.

The Pattern can be found HERE





The dimensions of the blanket I made were 30" X 31"
I used a 6.5 mm hook
The pattern that was used in the crochet-along was alternating SC and DC through the front loop ONLY.
Each row you would DC on the SC and SC on the DC of the previous row.

To make the blanket:

R1: CH 87

R2: Turn work. SC in second ch from hook (FRONT LOOP ONLY), *DC in the next ch, SC in the next ch. Repeat from * to the end

R3: Ch 1, turn work. SC in each DC and DC in each SC to the end. (FRONT LOOP ONLY)

Continue R3 until you have reached your desired length (in this case 30")
