Everyday Striped Cardigan
The Everyday Striped Cardigan is a great intermediate pattern design. If you are familiar with the herringbone double crochet and crochet garments, you could take on this project with the help of my crochet video tutorial down below!
The mattress stitch is used for seaming the sides and sleeves. It’s a perfect finish that hides seaming yarn. Watch the video tutorial for a step by step demonstration.
Why Crochet a Cardigan
A cardigan is probably one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you could own.
Crocheting a cardigan is a great way to customize your own style and create a one-of-a-kind piece of clothing. Not only that, but it can be incredibly rewarding to craft something with your own hands. Crocheting your own garments gives you the freedom to choose the materials and colours so that you can make something completely unique to you and your style. Plus, it’s a great way to practice and hone your crochet skills.
Nothing says cozy like pockets! We’ve set the pockets inside the cardigan for a beautiful finish.
Crocheting is one of the best activities for calming down and de-stressing. It’s an incredibly rewarding hobby that can help you relax and find a sense of peace. Plus, when you finish your project, you have something beautiful to show for your efforts.
WeCrochet Wool of the Andes Superwash
I decided to use Wool of the Andes Superwash Wool. I picked this gorgeous yarn for its quality, durability and amazing range of colours. Even though it’s a worsted weight, the sweater comes out light with a beautiful drape. This yarn is washable and will stay looking new wear after wear. Read more about this yarn HERE

Yarn Substitutes
Yarn Inspiration
Wool of the Andes Superwash is a great affordable wool yarn. I have provided a list of substitutes for you if you want to use a different yarn. If you would like to use a 100% acrylic yarn, I would suggest Brava Worsted and Lion Brand Heartland as excellent affordable substitutes. Lion Brand Color Theory is a perfect match if you are looking for a premium acrylic yarn splurge. For those looking for wool options, Upcycle Alpaca Blend is a great, super soft, durable wool blend if you are looking to splurge. If you are after affordable wool, I would go with Swish Worsted superwash merino wool from WeCrochet.
