Crochet pattern Cardigan/Jacket Raglan XS/S/M/L/XL

This beautiful jacket is crocheted from the top down (raglan).

It can also be worn nicely as a short-sleeved jacket. I also explain in great detail how the sleeves are crocheted, with lots of pictures.
  • Information on sizes XS/S/M/L/XL included
The measurements for this sweater are not simply based rigidly on standard sizes. Every body is individual. Since we crochet the jacket from top to bottom, the jacket can be customized completely individually.

Materials
  • ONline Cora Line 20 needle size 4-5
  • Colors stone gray (approx. 500 g), black (approx. 200 g), and white (approx. 50 g)
  • Crochet hook 5.0 mm (or as desired)
  • Sewing needle/darning needle
  • Scissors
  • Buttons (6 or as desired)
What will be crocheted?
  • Chain stitch
  • Turning chain
  • Single crochet
  • Double crochet
  • Slip stitch
  • Crab stitch

I have described everything in my pattern in great detail and also tried to explain every technique as well as possible.
In the pattern, I crocheted and illustrated size L (40/42).

Even beginners can give this jacket a try.
And if you have any problems, I’ll be very happy to help.

You can also very cautiously start thinking about spring
and soul warmers are definitely suitable year-round, depending on the material. You can knit the Bolero "SUMMERBLUSH" for summer using cool linen or cotton yarn, and for the colder season using warming wool yarns such as merino wool or alpaca. The bolero nestles against the neck, drapes beautifully over the shoulders, and warms the back. It is knitted sideways from one sleeve end to the other sleeve end, and the final shape is achieved by knitting on a band. The pattern includes both a knitting chart and row-by-row written instructions, so everyone can work according to their preference.

Level: For advanced beginners and experienced knitters

Materials: Any yarns for needle size 4, circular knitting needles sizes 3.5 and 4 (or 4.5), 1 stitch marker

Required knitting skills: Knit and purl stitches, yarn overs, knitting stitches together, knitting several stitches out of one stitch (described separately!), knitting in rows and in the round.

You can find the knitting pattern here: CLICK

Have fun knitting,
Annette

Wear it this way or that way—and it’s anything but boring: I love the ANOUK vest!
It is so wonderfully versatile! Whether worn open as a short bolero vest or closed with a brooch, whether with the lace pattern as a collar or with the beautiful cable: it is so adaptable and still not difficult to knit! The pattern is very detailed and described for sizes 36–46.

Difficulty level: Medium.

You should know how to: cast on and bind off stitches, knit and purl stitches, yarn overs, knit stitches together, simple decreases, simple cables, work from a knitting chart.

Material:
  • 2 x 150 g Sulka Legato by Mirasol (worked with two strands held together)
  • or any yarns for needle size 3.5–4 (then knit with a single strand)
  • Knitting needles size 4.

You can find the knitting pattern here—get it now: ANOUK Vest

Happy knitting from
Annette

Your choice: crochet pattern + knitting pattern
Soul warmer and cuffs - crocheted like knitted - easy





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

One size - quick and easy


Whether crocheted or knitted: it’s always nice to have such a cozy piece ready to wear.

And yes, the crochet pattern looks knitted and is just as cuddly soft.
But knitters will also get their money’s worth. The stitch pattern is very similar.

The PDF pattern is detailed and illustrated over 23 pages and contains both the crochet pattern and the knitting pattern for the soul warmer and the arm/leg warmers.

The stitches used are explained with pictures.
So general crochet or knitting knowledge is sufficient.

Basically, you can use any yarn you like. My yarn usage when using an alpaca yarn, 50g – 100 m, according to the label for needle size 3 – 4, but used here: crochet hook size 8.0

  • for the soul warmer approx. 500 g in the crochet version
    (approx. 800 g in the knitted version with needle size 6.0),
  • for the cuffs approx. 100 g in both versions

Knitting pattern Bolero size S/M






This simple bolero can be worn in warmer seasons with a top underneath, or, for example, over a fine turtleneck in the colder seasons as a shoulder warmer. And knitted in white for the bride, or in dark blue or black, it goes wonderfully with a festive dress.

This bolero is made from 200 g of especially soft 4-ply sock yarn STEP by Austermann (with aloe vera and jojoba oil), using size 4.0 mm knitting needles in seed stitch and stockinette stitch.
4-ply sock yarn has a yardage of approx. 420 m/100 g. Of course, a different (lace) yarn of the same weight may also be used. However, it really should be the same weight, as I worked out the shaping especially for this yarn.

The PDF pattern is illustrated with 14 photos (but it is not a basic knitting course)

Knitting Pattern: Striped Cotton Short-Sleeved Cardigan



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

The PDF pattern is illustrated across 23 pages.

These knitting skills are needed:

We need
in total for sizes S to L approx. 450 g Catania (Schachenmayr) or Limone (Schoeller+Stahl), 100% mercerized cotton, label information: 50 g – 125 m yardage, needle size 2.5 – 3.5, gauge: 26 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm with the following color distribution:

Depending on the size, more or less leftover yarn will remain from each skein.

Cozy in every season:

Cardigan Gita - Sizes 36 to 42 One Size



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

A knitted lightweight piece for all seasons – whether worn over or under – simple, with an eye-catching collar area. Both stitch patterns used are absolutely easy (only knit and purl stitches). The collar design requires a little care.
The length is variable.

The illustrated pattern with stitch- and row-by-row instructions is based on a gauge of approx. 14.5 sts = approx. 10 cm with size 6.0 knitting needles. Because of the jacket’s relaxed shape and stretch, one stitch more or less is not that crucial. If your gauge differs significantly, please choose a larger or smaller needle size. The pattern does not include a knitting course, but it does include helpful link tips.

We need
225 g KidSilk by Austermann, color 40 Emerald, 75% kid mohair, 25% silk, details according to the ball band: needles 3–4, 18 sts x 26 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm, hand wash, 25 g – 225 m yardage; alternative yarns are listed in the pattern.

Used here: size 6.0 knitting needles, pins, measuring tape, yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, stitch markers, possibly a row counter.

Cardigan/Long Cardigan MARGIT size 38 to 46 OneSize - Oversize





(To purchase/download, please click the image)

This comfortable, fluffy knitted piece in an oversized style weighs only about 275 g with the yarns used here, so it is featherlight. Both stitch patterns used are absolutely easy. The collar shaping requires a little attention. The length is variable.

The model shown is knitted with double strand and US 10 (6.0 mm) needles using 175 g KidSilk by Austermann plus 100 g Merino Lace by Austermann. Alternatively, yarns can be chosen with a needle size suitable for the yarn that roughly match a gauge of 17 sts = approx. 10 cm with 6.0 mm knitting needles, e.g. approx. 450 g Dolce Mohair (Mondial) - knitted with a single strand. Additional yarn alternatives - also without mohair - are listed in the pattern. Stitch markers are highly recommended.

The illustrated PDF pattern with stitch-by-stitch and row-by-row instructions is based on the gauge mentioned above. Due to the relaxed shape and stretchiness of the cardigan, one stitch more or less is not very decisive. If your gauge differs significantly, please choose a larger or smaller knitting needle size. The pattern does not include a knitting course, but it does include relevant link tips.
