Clara Duster Cardigan

"Crocheted with Aran/Worsted weight yarn and featuring the beautiful floret stitch, the edge-to-edge long cardigan crochet pattern offers a dense and cozy fabric—perfect for autumn/fall and winter layering. Worked in one-piece with the sleeves worked directly onto the garment, there is minimal finishing/seaming! Oversized with plenty of positive ease, you can comfortably wear your finished cardigan over other garments. Wear it as a jacket giving you an extra layer out and about on those crisp autumnal days or over sweaters indoors on a cold winter’s day. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS 5mm / H-8 crochet hook (I’ve used these hooks for several years) Emu Classic Aran Yarn; 1714, (1876, 2088, 2256, 2480, 2644, 2886, 3062) yds Stitch Markers (these Harlequin stitch markers are my favourite) Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE To Fit (inches) Width (inches) Length (inches) Amount of Yarn (yards) approx.
