This top-down construction cardigan features a simple stitch pattern that showcases variegated yarns beautifully, complemented by decorative chain stitch fringe detailing. The design is particularly suited for young children and works up quickly in worsted weight yarn, making it an ideal project for crafters seeking a fast, satisfying make.
Construction Method
The Divette Sweater is worked from the top down, eliminating the need for seaming. This construction approach allows for easy fitting adjustments during the crochet process and results in a seamless, polished finished garment. The top-down method also enables straightforward customization of length and fit.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches
The Divette Sweater employs a simple stitch pattern throughout the body, allowing the yarn's characteristics to take center stage. The design incorporates chain stitch fringe as a decorative element, adding visual interest and movement to the finished piece. The straightforward stitch work makes this an intermediate-level project, accessible to crocheters with foundational skills.
Materials and Yarn Requirements
This cardigan requires worsted weight yarn in quantities ranging from 975 yards (size 4) to 1,500 yards (size 12). The sample size 6 was created using Lorna's Laces Haymarket, a 100% bluefaced leicester yarn available in 3.5 oz (100 g) skeins with 215 yards (197 meters) per skein—requiring 5 skeins for the sample size.
