Cardigan, Shirt “Selma” – Unisex Summer Shirt Crochet Pattern

Product description

“Selma” is a casual shirt cardigan or summer shirt that can be combined in many different ways and is sure to become a favorite piece in your wardrobe. Thanks to its simple cut, the design looks modern, relaxed, and pleasantly uncomplicated.

The stitch pattern is intentionally kept simple, making it very beginner-friendly. If you already have some basic crochet experience, you should have no trouble following the pattern. The construction is also uncomplicated, so the design is easy to recreate and can be adjusted to any size without difficulty.

A special detail is the clever collar construction, which gives the design that certain something and creates a beautiful, distinctive look.

Especially practical: you can wear “Selma” open like a light cardigan or closed like a summer shirt. This makes it wonderfully versatile and easy to style in different ways — casually with jeans, loosely over a top, or as a light layer on warm days.

Since from row 2 onward you only work under chain spaces, the pattern is very TV-friendly and therefore perfect for relaxed crochet sessions. A design that not only looks good, but is also a real pleasure to crochet.

You can, of course, make the sleeves in any length you like, for example 3/4-length sleeves or even turn it into a jacket with long sleeves. You can also adjust the length of the cardigan to suit your personal preference.

Schnelles Geschenk zu Ostern
Sehr gut geschriebene Anleitung, die Hühner sind schnell und einfach gehäkelt. Ich hatte das normale Catania Garn doppelt genommen. Das passte zwar von der Größe, wurde aber sehr starr und sperrig. So bin ich umgestiegen auf ein preiswertes Acrylgarn und mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden.
