Hooded Colour Block Crochet Cardigan

[@sashaandrews3108]

Absolutely loved this! It was super fun to make and extremely detailed and easy to follow being that it was my first piece of clothing I crocheted! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern.

[@misspowers]

This is the first time I’ve felt like I can actually attempt a wearable. I’ve only done blankets so far but this pattern seems simple enough for me to do it and feel confident it will come out. Thank you! It’s gorgeous 🧶

[@lucyroyal3565]

Me too! I’ve done it for the little ones. This is fantastic!👏🏼😊

[@rebeccapfeifer2376]

@@lucyroyal3565 did you make this cardigan for your lil’ ones?? How did it go- was it hard? It’s gorgeous and I love all her patterns!

[@crochet106]

I totally agree. I am going to crochet 🧶 this beautiful sweater in different colors.

[@rachelsommerville4383]

How did you make out?

[@misspowers]

@@rachelsommerville4383 just started it this morning and so far it’s been smooth sailing! I signed up for MJ’s blog so I’m able to reference the pattern, if at anytime I feel like I could be off track 🌻

[@taylorlt0806]

I love your designs so much! This year I plan to tackle my biggest fear, wearables. I have saved several of your tutorials in my attempt to learn. They scared me so bad, but I am now equally excited. Keep up all of your great work!

Same with me!

I’m sick right now and your wonderful cardigan would be so cozy right now! Thanks M J

I just finished this pattern using Caron cotton cakes in lighthouse and it turned out beautifully!! Great pattern, easy to follow (I didn’t do colour changes as it’s a self striping yarn I used)

[@lolnope11never]

I love that yarn!!!

[@nautsrenata]

Wow this is awesome! I'm in the progress of completing my very first cardigan, made all the pieces and just have to sew it all together. I wish I would have seen this before lol but I absolutely look forward to trying this method next! So cool, I wouldn't have imagined being able to work up a cardigan in one piece like this, thanks so much 🥰

Hello I was wondering how do I do this sweater with a medium 4 100% polyester 8.5oz/240g Caron yarn inspiration cloud cake with a smaller needle to have tighter stitching and add some stitches to make it wider around the chest

[@ancalagon0216]

Can you do a tutorial on a long *sleeveless* cardigan for the spring/summer? I absolutely love long winter cardigans but I want to wear them in the summer too, just without sleeves. But no one sells them or makes them. I’ve only (rarely) seen super short summer cardigans and even then most have sleeves. I figure the only way to own one is to make one.

[@mjsoffthehook]

My Lakeside cardigan can be done without sleeves. It would basically be like a vest. There are customization tips in the pattern:) The pattern includes a cropped version of the cardigan and a long version of the cardigan. tidd.ly/3FYESpe

[@AllGrowing]

Thanks to you I'm crocheting my first cardigan! Can you please tell me the open measurement of a sleeve - before starting the body part? My sleeves at 18 rows look a bit small... meaning it doesn't reach my underarm yet.

[@mjsoffthehook]

That’s great! I’m sorry I do not give measurements. You have to purchase the PDF pattern to get the schematic with all the measurements. These garments take a lot of work to design and write, I do not give everything away for free. tidd.ly/3itwsgB

[@AllGrowing]

@@mjsoffthehook Ok, thanks.

[@denisegrisdale]

Hello :) So I would love to make this. I’ve never attempted a cardigan or anything clothing related. I was wondering if this pattern would work with a bulky 5 yarn?

[@louisefedirko404]

This is beautiful. Mary Maxim is out of stock on this yarn. Can you suggest another yarn that would be suitable. I love the soft sheen of that yarn.

[@mjsoffthehook]

I have a list of yarn substitutions on the blog www.mjsoffthehookdesigns.com/crochet-colour-block-cardigan/

[@suehanks946]

I am confused. You got all the way down to the bottom to do the ribbing then it changed. Totally lost me from there. I love the colours in this though x

I’m having so many issues with sleeves & joining. How can I make the join look seamless?

[@denisebriese6414]

MJ I am currently working on this cardigan and I am loving it the simplicity of it I love cardigans. This is the year for me to make all of your sweaters I’m in love with my question is I do not want to make the hood which cardigan of yours or sweater should I copy the collar on that will fit well with this sweater? ❤

[@mjsoffthehook]

Yes, you can do this cardigan without the hood, it is optional. I do not have another pattern that the collar would work for this, you would have to make something up.

​Can You Let Me Know, The Stitch Count For The Amount I Need To Do A 2x Size?

[@diannepavel]

I would love to make this cardi but not sure what yarn to use in the uk. I can’t find the yarn you’re using in the uk. What substitute would you suggest?

[@caseymatthews6783]

4 Worsted is Aran in the UK

[@jl9227]

When you do the ribbing do you do chain 1 then single crochet? In each ribbing?

[@TeRussRomance]

Hi! I’m reading through the pattern and am currently working on the sleeves. Do the sizes that don’t go to row 40 before the final row go up to row 38?

[@robinarcher-inman8164]

Hi MJ, I don't usually have problems following your patterns, however on this one I'm making the small and am on row 15, which I don't understand after I do the hdc's on front until I come to ch-1 sp, chain 4 then "skip the sleeve, until I get to the next ch-1 sp". I'm sorry I am totally stuck on those instructions. DO I HDC to the next ch-1sp or do I slip stitch. Thank you for your time.

[@robinarcher-inman8164]

Actually rows 15-18, I would have a problem with.

Do I go into the stitch that’s part of v stitch after placing a v stitch

[@loisbullock3151]

This is the same thing I am/was wondering. If you find out would you let me know as well.

[@kylerdavis4099]

Yes, so it's 2 half doubles and an extra stitch in one loop
