About Paradise Cardigan

Sandra Gutierrez’s striking Paradise Cardigan is brimming with interesting details. It’s worked from the bottom up with pretty griddle stitch used for the main body, and a mosaic crochet border. The longline silhouette and fastening-free design give a relaxed summer look.

The cardigan is constructed from the bottom-up, starting with the mosaic band at the bottom of the body. The band is made by following a chart and using Standard Mosaic Crochet rules – see chart for instructions. Body is worked in Griddle St without any shaping to underam, where it is divided for Front and Back. Short rows are worked at the shoulders to add height to the panels closer to the neck then shoulders are seamed. Sleeves are then worked from armhole openings and decreased towards Cuff. The longline neckline is added at the front by working rows of sc worked in back loop only. Crab St edging is added around the hem.

By Hook, a first for The Fibre Co, is a summer crochet collection featuring laidback layers and pretty-yet-practical accessories from top designers. All five beginner-friendly designs were inspired by wildflowers, picnics, and the magical light of golden hour. Think long, lazy afternoons spent outdoors in the sunshine. The chosen palette of Meadow and Luma yarns includes sky blues, botanical greens and pops of warm bright tones like flashes of meadow flowers in long, swishing grass. Lighter natural fibres and airy stitch patterns result in a collection of easy-to-wear complementary crochet pieces perfect for sunnier days. These patterns are suitable for crocheters looking for a new adventure, and knitters who may be new to the craft.
