Conch Cardigan by Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby for Interweave Crochet Magazine

New crochet pattern just in time for warmer weather!

Every now and then we set out to design a piece for a magazine that at first seems like a simple, yet elegant, garment; but, through the design process, turns into something very special. This dolman sleeve cardi is one of those pieces.

The Conch Cardigan, seen in the Summer 2017 edition of Interweave Crochet, was created as the perfect, versatile wardrobe layering piece. Constructed from lightweight yarn with a lace panel in the back, it will keep you warm on cool days without getting too hot in the sun which means you can wear this FAB piece all Summer and well into the Fall months.

We LOVED designing this piece! The "Evolving V Stitch" stitch pattern keeps the interest and makes for a fun stitching experience. The cardi is made from Cascade Yarns Heritage Silk, constructed in only 3 piece:, one back and two fronts (the sleeves being part of each of those pieces).  Seaming is a such simple process for this garment! Four seams and your garment is ready to wear.

Because we have a great relationship with them, the FAB folks at Interweave provided a few extra photos of this garment that did not make it into the magazine... but looked so go that we just HAD to post them.

We hope you love this piece as much as we do!

You can pick up this pattern in the Summer 2017 issue of Interweave Crochet. Another great thing about this pattern... Interweave is letting us include sizing for a wider range now so whether you are a Small or a 5X you can still make this FAB cardigan to add to your wardrobe.
