Hello, I am Leanna and I am the maker & designer behind Crafty Bones (www.Crafty-Bones.com). I have been crocheting for 10 years and took up writing patterns over the past couple of years. I absolutely love the process of coming up with a thought, working on the stitches and doing all the calculations for the final item. It is so incredibly rewarding to have a design idea flourish. This is how my Delilah Cardigan Crochet Pattern came to be created. I was playing around with different stitch combinations and created this wonderful texture. I just knew it had to be turned into some form of sweater.
This baby/kid sized cardigan is a very cozy, oversized sweater with lots of room to bundle up in. If you are wanting to create more of a cropped looked with shorter 3/4 length sleeves you can drop down a size or two. Loving the Delilah Cardigan but don’t fit into kids sizing? Not to worry! I have the pattern in women’s sizes XS – 5XL just for you.
The cardigan is worked up in a way that reduces the amount of seaming needed at the end. Because really who likes the very end seaming when you just want to enjoy your finished product. The neckline is a slight V neck with nice big buttons for closing up the cardigan. Perfect for letting your little ones practice buttoning! A single crochet ribbed detail along the bottom and cuffs finishes it off wonderfully.
To make the Delilah you will need a Size 4 – Medium weight yarn. I love the way that Lion Brand Jeans yarn worked up with this pattern. Two other yarns that worked really well for my testers were Cascade Yarn 220 Superwash, and Patons Canadiana. The pattern uses two different hook sizes, 5.0 mm (H-8) Crochet Hook & 6.5 mm (K-10 1/2). To finish it off you will need a tapestry hook and 3 x 1″ (2.5 cm) buttons (4 buttons for size 8 and 10)
