How to Crochet a Lightweight Lacy Summer Cardigan, Very Easy One-Piece Construction, Video Tutorial

I am enjoying this summer as never before! I am enjoying the warm days, the blue skies, the flowers, and crocheting (of course)!
I just finished a beautiful, lightweight, lacy cardigan, which makes a wonderful addition to my summer wardrobe. It comes handy when I go for evening walks, it keeps me comfortable! I also grab it when I go shopping as many stores and shopping malls can be a bit chilly because of the AC.
I hope you like my summer cardigan, and perhaps you'd like to make one too!
The construction of this crochet cardigan is very easy. It is worked as one piece, and then two seams are made (one on each side).
You will only need to take two measurements, which I explain in detail in the video.
Skill Level: Intermediate
The yarn that I used is category 2, 100% acrylic yarn.
I worked with a hook size E (3.5 mm)
This cardigan can be made with category 3 yarns as well, but I wouldn't recommend anything beyond category 3. Cotton yarns will be a good option too.
The video tutorial for the lacy stitch, which I used for this cardigan is available on my channel: • How to Crochet Lacy Su...

Beautiful cardigan, Olga. I appreciate so much you showing us how you fixed the dropped stitch “problem” - one that we’ve all done ourselves. Also, I wondered how you did the cute little cap sleeves. Great idea! Thank you so much for the free pattern. Brava!

Very pretty. You make such lovely crochet items. I can’t wait to make it and add light weight sleeves! I always get cold in the summer cause people have the AC on!, Thank you.

[@OlgaPoltava]

I feel the same about the AC. Many stores and shopping malls are uncomfortably chilly for me even though it's 100+ degrees outside.

[@Shiraz1930]

Adorable, I love it!!!!!

Olga, you are so very talented. I really enjoy watching you. You seem to be a a conservative person , as I am. Thank you for all the lovely designs and patterns 🧶🤩

[@OlgaPoltava]

Hi Nancy, thank you! Yes, most modern people would probably say that my values, style, and taste are old-fashioned and outdated, but that's the way I am, what I believe in, and how I live my life. And it's very nice and heartwarming to meet like-minded people!

[@karenwatkins4122]

Thank you so beautiful and looks so beautiful on you God bless

Very nice cardigan! I love the sleeves either way. They looked kind of fluttery before you edged them. I will be making a few of these!!

[@ireneritter726]

💜❤️💚💜❤️💚

[@CMP1307]

Is there a link for the pattern?

[@OlgaPoltava]

I didn't write the pattern specifically for the cardigan because the measurements are going to be different people for different people, as well as different people will choose to use different yarns. But I do have the written pattern, as well as the video tutorial for the lacy stitch that I used for this cardigan. Video tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqaUimuhhKp_mq8 Written pattern: www.etsy.com/listing/851245333

[@kathleenvolonsevich6791]

Thank you, wow, this is beautiful! What is the color? :)

[@OlgaPoltava]

This yarn is now discontinued, so unfortunately I can't tell you.

[@leamorioka7248]

Pleaae advise! At the neck opening, is that exactly at the half way point?

[@OlgaPoltava]

Yes, mine was exactly at the half way.

[@user-dh8bn5vg6o]

Здравствуйте,скажите пожалуйста какое количество пряжи ушло на этот кардиган и какой метраж этой пряжи в 100гр,спасибо

[@wafaahassan8141]

May I ask you if I want to make the whole arm ?

[@nancyhomen9347]

What is the September date you are planning your get together in San Diego?

[@OlgaPoltava]

I planned to do that last year. Unfortunately, that never happened as just a few days before my trip I got sick with Covid.

[@ArtsyPups]

How much yarn for cardigan in medium??

[@vivianle631]

How Many yarns did you use?

[@deenmills517]

Is there written pattern

[@OlgaPoltava]

I have the written pattern for the stitch, but not for the garment itself. www.etsy.com/listing/851245333

[@tinanotaro6877]

i licke the lighweight crochet lacy summer cardigan pattern please thanks tina

[@kearamenmen9165]

You are younger than your voice

[@OlgaPoltava]

Thank you! 😊

[@robinrocha2091]

Pattern!

[@ArtsyPups]

This cardigan is not wthat simple and only works if you add inches that coordinate with the sets of rows. You can only add inches in sets, and each set is 8 rows!! Instructions are deceiving for different sizes.

[@ArtsyPups]

Also be sure to ADD several inches to your starting chain. The item shortens as you work it. My original chain of 42 inches ebded up as 38 inches, and that is crocheting loosely. Now I will have to figure out how to add some sort of lace edge to the bottom to make it longer. Maybe this pattern is better used for a scarf. It does not suit a cardigan.
