With this pattern you can crochet the beautiful cardigan “Dorea”! It is easily adaptable to any size and can also be worked shorter as a jacket or without sleeves as a vest. You can work the sleeves straight, without decreases, or with decreases so that they fit a little tighter.

The pattern is also suitable for beginners, who know following stitches:

• chain stitch
• half double crochet
• double crochet
• front post single crochet
• front post double crochet
• back post double crochet
• crossed double crochet (tutorial can be found in the pattern)
• slip stitch

The instructions include:

• general information
• information on the wool and tools used
• stitches, techniques and abbreviations used
• table with wool consumption of testers
• size chart
• written description of each row
• crochet chart
• tutorial on special stitches

Information on 7 sizes is included for the cardigan (the sizes are based on your chest circumstance). The size can be adjusted very easily (you will find all the information in the pattern).

The following tools are required:

• crochet hook 4.0 mm
• scissors
• stitch marker
• needle for sewing up the loose ends

The following wool was used:

• Manufacturer: Yvi's Dreamies, traumhafte Bobbel und Farbverlaufsgarne (Facebook group)
• Material: 45% modal, 40% polyacrylic, 15% polyamide
• Color: Grey mottled 3

Used amount:
from 1600 m for the body (depending on the length of the cardigan, 1600 if it should reach over your bottom) + 2x 300-350 m for the sleeves (straight sleeves) or 2x 350-400m for the sleeves (tightening sleeves)

I recommend working the cardigan in solid color.
