This is the first time I have crocheted a garment in pieces. I did some legit blocking and seaming, guys! I wanted a lacy, but not too lacy cardigan. I liked the cropped-but-past-my-boobs look of this one. The rounded, scalloped front is adorable and the gathered sleeve caps are killin&#8217; me. It was a fairly easy pattern to follow, too! <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/14122512705\" title=\"front detail by Lisa Gutierrez, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5475\/14122512705_97689e3979_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"429\" alt=\"front detail\"><\/a><BR><BR><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/13935876748\" title=\"craspedia cropped cardigan by Lisa Gutierrez, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7425\/13935876748_5bbfb68562_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"craspedia cropped cardigan\"><\/a><BR><BR><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/14119198161\" title=\"craspedia cropped cardigan back\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5559\/14119198161_55cbc811f7_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"513\" alt=\"craspedia cropped cardigan back\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The yarn isn&#8217;t anything fancy, but I like it. The color is brighter in natural light, as above. It looks a little navy-ish in darker environments. It&#8217;s soft and washable, though I haven&#8217;t put it through my machine yet. I wore it, this weekend, to a graduation. I put all our other clothes to wash and left this out. I&#8217;m ALWAYS nervous to wash my crocheted stuffs. I have these visions of opening the washer and finding a ball of yarn. It hasn&#8217;t happened yet, but still&#8230; it could, right? Please tell me I&#8217;m not the only one who feels like this!<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoodknits.com%2Fblog%2F2014%2F05%2F13%2Fcrochet-cropped-cardigan%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fgoodknits.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F05%2F011.jpg&description=Crochet%3A+Craspedia+Cropped+Cardigan+via+goodknits\" class=\"pin-it-button\" count-layout=\"horizontal\">Pin It<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7455\/14122841534_c20079c7a8_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"craspedia cropped cardigan\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Pattern: Craspedia Cropped Cardigan by Linda Permann (also on Ravelry here) Yarn: 6 skeins KnitPicks Comfy (fingering weight) in Planetarium Hook: 3.75mm (US F-5) Modifications: Had to go up in hook size to get gauge.
