The textured crochet stitch is an easy 2-row repeat worked in basic crochet stitches that works up quickly! It’s a simple pattern to crochet in only one piece. I enjoy working my garments in this manner so that the seaming is limited to the sides and sleeves.
The Yarn
I crochet the Mauve-A-Lous Duster Cardigan in Mary Maxim Mellowspun DK (CDN) 70% Acrylic, 30% Nylon (174 yds/160m/50g/1.75oz) Shown in Dark Mauve. You can no longer get this colour, but they have other beautiful options available. Mellowspun is on the light side of a DK and is very similar to some Sport weight yarns. Many DK-weight yarns you will find to be a little thicker. Compare the yards per gram to find a suitable alternative.
If you love this mauve, I suggest this Alternative from Mary maxim
