Eve Cardigan - Women's Crochet Pattern

What is Being Made

The Eve Cardigan is a women's cardigan crochet pattern designed by MillaMia, available in four sizes to fit bust measurements of 82-87cm (32-34in), 92-97cm (36-38in), 102-107cm (40-42in), and 112-117cm (44-46in). The finished cardigan features actual bust measurements of 97cm (38in), 107cm (42in), 122cm (48in), and 132cm (52in) respectively, with a back neck length ranging from 52cm to 58cm (20½in to 22¾in) depending on size. All sizes feature a consistent sleeve length of 34cm (13½in).

Techniques Used

This cardigan is worked using seamed construction with pieces worked flat, meaning individual components are crocheted separately and then assembled together. The pattern includes optional embroidery embellishment, though the designer notes the cardigan is equally beautiful when made plain without any embroidered details. Water soluble stabilizer and an embroidery hoop are included in the materials to support the embroidery work if desired.

Stitches and Crochet Details

The Eve Cardigan is constructed primarily using double crochet (dc) stitches throughout. The pattern provides a specific tension gauge of 24 double crochet stitches and 26 rows to a 10cm (4in) square, which should be achieved using a 3mm (US 2) crochet hook to ensure proper fit and drape.
