Jasmine Coral Cardigan

Jasmine Coral Cardigan Crochet Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Jasmine Coral Cardigan is a lacy textured, lightweight crochet cardigan designed in a kimono silhouette. This garment is constructed from three separate panels that are sewn together, creating a versatile layering piece with an intentionally oversized fit. The cardigan features finished edging around the armholes and along the front opening, neckline, and lower hem for a polished appearance.

Construction Method

This cardigan is worked from the bottom up using a three-panel construction technique. The back panel and both front panels are crocheted separately using identical stitch patterns, then assembled together using a tapestry needle and matching yarn. After the main panels are joined, finishing details are added with a trim worked in single crochet stitch applied in two rows around the armholes and the entire front and neckline perimeter.

Crochet Stitches and Techniques

The Jasmine Coral Cardigan employs a lacy textured stitch pattern throughout the main body panels, creating an open, breathable fabric suitable for warm-weather wear. The finishing trim utilizes single crochet stitch worked in two rows to create clean, defined edges. The pattern is written in standard US crochet terminology, making it accessible to those familiar with American crochet conventions.
