My crochet sleeveless cardigan pattern is designed in Curio #3 from WeCrochet in Jalapeno.
It’s a lightweight cotton yarn perfect for warm temperatures. It was a pleasure to work with and glided perfectly over my furls odyssey crochet hook. The yarn has excellent stitch definition and blocked beautifully to showcase the lacework in this design. It holds its shape well but is lightweight with a beautiful drape—the perfect yarn for Spring and Summer designs.
WeCrochet has so many gorgeous colours to choose from; you can check them out below.

Why Purchase the Magazine?
I want to share a little about Crochet Foundry Magazine. I’m a CF magazine co-founder with three other designers; Briana K, Sincerely Pam and Cre8tion Crochet. We’ve put our heart and soul into making this the best eMagazine on the market. As a team, we’re committed to curating a beautiful collection of patterns each season for modern women. Our designs range in size from XS-5X. We’ve chosen models of all sizes in our magazine to show beautiful women looking amazing in our garments.
Many of our designs include YouTube tutorials to help you through our crochet patterns step by step. Crochet garments intimate many crocheters, but we at Crochet Foundry endeavour to change that. We offer support in our Facebook group – Crochet Foundry Makes, and strive to provide more tutorials to our customers in the future.
The Spring Issue includes our designs with three guest designers joining us this season! April from OTHcrochetnook, Hannah from HanJan Crochet and Breann from Hooked on Homemade Happiness.
Little extras that we have put together to make this magazine unique. Alongside each pattern, we have included tropical recipes! We are bringing the vacation to you this season with fruity drinks, snacks and face masks.
Designs
The Spring 2021 Digital issue features resort wear styles in lush greens, hot pinks, and cool fibres. We have easy-to-wear pieces that can be worn on their own, or layered for a breezy vibe.
We are so thankful for all the support we’ve received and are excited that so many of you have already decided to purchase an annual subscription to CF magazine! It means the world to us.
Another huge thank you goes out to WeCrochet and Furls for continuing to believe in our vision, and by supplying the tools and additional support to make it happen.
