CARDIGAN "VENEZIA" FREE CROCHET PATTERN




Autumn is coming, so it's time to prepare our wardrobe. Today I present you my new model cardigan. I called it "Venezia" because of the name of yarn. I chose basic stitches to make the pattern because it is very soft, fancy yarn and doesn't need special texture. It contains mohair, acrylic, lame, polyester. Here you can find the yarn  You'll need 5 skeins.  For the edges of the cardigan  I used black acrylic yarn.
