Crochet Cardigan

Crochet Cardigan

I created a crocheted cardigan using my own measurements and comprised of two complementary colors.

I used about 600 grams of acrylic wool.
For the front and back i used an ochre yellow color, and for the sleeves and the borders i used a muted peachy color.
I used a 5.0 mm crochet hook.

It took me about 4 months to finish this garment, partly because i ran out of the wool i started using, and simply could not find it anywhere.
After a long search i managed to find wool that was pretty similarly in color, from afar the difference isn't so noticeable but from upclose you can see it if you pay attention to it.

The flying bird stitches were the biggest challenge for me, i took the back apart several times because i simply couldn't get the stitches to be completely aligned from top to bottom and beginning to end.
The seed stitch was fun and easy to do and i very much like the look that it gives.
