Crochet Habitat Cardigan By Make & Do Crew

 

This is the second cardigan I have crocheted in as many months. I wanted to challenge myself to crochet an actual wearable garment. I think I succeeded with this Habitat Cardigan designed by Jess from the Make and Do crew…

The Habitat Cardigan

The pattern is a simple rectangle with sleeves/cuffs and a neckband added. The length can be altered by adding a panel at the back. In the pattern information this is endearingly called a ‘Tush Extension’ loosely translated its a panel that covers your bum!

Yarn: Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran in colour 208 light Caramel (I used 7 Balls) A 10 pack cost £19.95. Bargain

My Verdict on the Habitat Cardigan

An easy crochet project, I think a beginner could happily make this project. There are videos on Jess’ blog if you have any problems.

My Top Tip:

Be sure to keep the ends of the cuffs and neckband straight, by crocheting into the very last stitch everytime you turn.
