Necessary materials: Summer Patchwork Cardigan
Before starting, make sure you have all the materials you need. You will need:
Medium thickness cotton thread in bright colors.
Crochet hook the right size for the chosen yarn.
Scissors.
Tapestry needle for sewing the cardigan parts.
Buttons (optional).
Step 1: Choose colors and patterns
Decide what colors and patterns you want to use on your patchwork cardigan. Use your creativity to combine colors and create a unique combination. You can opt for bright, cheerful colors for a vibrant summer look or softer, pastel colors for a more delicate look.
Step 2: Cut the wires
Cut the threads in the chosen colors in approximate lengths of 30 cm. Make sure you have enough yarn to complete the entire project.
Step 3: Starting the cardigan
Start by making a chain of approximately 100 stitches using the yarn color chosen for the cardigan border. This chain will be the basis for the length of the cardigan.
Step 4: Working on the sides
Work in double crochets along the sides of the chain, alternating yarn cores every 5 or 6 stitches. Keep working until you reach the desired length for the sleeves.
Step 5: Working the back and front
Once you’ve reached the desired length for the sleeves, continue working on the sides of the cardigan only, leaving an opening in the center for the back and front. Continue alternating yarn cores to create the patchwork effect.
Step 6: Creating the front parts
Work separately on the front parts of the cardigan. Gradually increase the number of stitches every 2 or 3 insides to create a V-shaped opening for the neckline. Keep working until you reach the desired length for the cardigan.
Step 7: Finishing
Sew the cardigan pieces together using a tapestry needle and matching color thread. Be sure to line up the pieces correctly and sew tightly and discreetly. You can also add buttons to close the cardigan.
