The Granny Twister Cardigan crochet pattern by Tine Sommer Hansen delights with a beautiful eyelet texture and fabulous ombre design. If you are looking for a nice garment that will give you a bit of extra warmth during the summer months, look no further. This crochet cardigan comes in a lightweight fabric made of fingering yarn that will drape beautifully over your shoulders.
What Skill Level Is Needed For This Cardigan?
The Granny Twister Cardigan is an easy pattern suitable for beginners. It’s worked as a big square with a classic granny stitch and features a simple assembly method.
Moreover, you’ll crochet the sleeves directly onto the body, so there is minimal sewing involved. Taking all that into account, nothing should stop you from giving this pattern a try!
What Yarn Should I Choose for a Gradient Look?
To get smooth color transitions for your project, be sure to use an ombre cake yarn.
The sample was made with Hobbii Twister, which is a soft, self-striping yarn with a cotton-acrylic blend. You can follow the colorway suggested by the designer or go for completely different shades. Also, make sure to use a 4.50 mm crochet hook to create a nice, drapey fabric.
Any self-striping yarn in fingering weight will give you the same beautiful results, so feel free to experiment with other yarns.
What Is the Size of This Crochet Cardigan?
Follow the written instructions provided by the designer to make an airy cocoon crochet cardigan.
The piece measures 40” x 40” (102×102 cm) before sewing and is available in one size. However, its oversized fit means it will look flattering on all body shapes. To make it bigger, consider adding a few extra rounds to the body panel.
