Odyssey Cardigan by Kristine Mullen
What is Being Made
The Odyssey Cardigan is a wearable crochet cardigan designed by Kristine Mullen and available as a downloadable PDF pattern. This garment is crafted to fit multiple sizes, ranging from X-Small through X-Large, with finished bust circumference measurements of 32 inches (X-Small) to 48 inches (X-Large). The cardigan is suitable for intermediate crocheters and those with advanced beginner skills, making it an accessible project for crafters looking to expand their garment-making abilities.
Techniques and Construction
The Odyssey Cardigan employs straightforward crochet techniques with minimal shaping, keeping the construction process manageable for intermediate-level makers. The pattern emphasizes the importance of achieving proper gauge before beginning, as gauge directly impacts the final fit of the garment. The fabric created through this pattern is noted as stretchy, which provides some flexibility in gauge accuracy—if your gauge is within 1/4 inch of the required 4-inch measurement, the finished cardigan will still fit appropriately.
Stitches Used
The Odyssey Cardigan utilizes single crochet (sc) and mini cluster stitches as its primary stitch patterns. These stitches are repeated throughout the garment to create the textured fabric. The gauge requirement is 4 single crochet and mini cluster repeats across 9 rows, measuring 4 inches before blocking.
Materials Required
- Yarn: #2 Fine/Sport weight yarn. For X-Small, Small, and Medium sizes, 850 to 1050 yards are required. For Large and X-Large sizes, 1050 to 1350 yards are needed. The sample cardigan shown in the pattern was created using Premier Cotton Fair yarn in the Succulent colorway.
- Crochet Hook: Size E/4 (3.50 mm). Pattern notes indicate you may need to adjust your hook size to achieve the correct gauge for your specific yarn and tension.
- Notions: A yarn needle is required for finishing and weaving in ends.
