Bliss Crochet Pocket Cardigan Pattern
Introducing the Bliss crochet pocket cardigan pattern. Textures and pockets are two things I love to add to my designs. This crochet pocket cardigan pattern has both!
The size-inclusive crochet pocket cardigan has gradually become my favorite as I get to keep my valuables in my pocket when I am out of the house.
Having a sketch come out just as dreamed or sketched in my case remains a delight. The Bliss pocket cardigan is one of my most planned cardigan patterns and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I mean, this cardigan has an in-seam pocket Ladies!!!
Most cardigans I’ve seen with pockets have those sewed on but this cardigan is endowed with pockets made inside (within the seam) and you can easily access your pockets from the sides.
Can we talk about the beautiful textures on the Bliss pocket cardigan? The back panel uses the interlocking stitch!! Wait a minute, this pattern has a video tutorial for this!
With spring just a few weeks away, the front panel uses an open stitch which also adds more beauty to this pattern. I have named this beauty after my very good crochet friend, you should check her out on INSTAGRAM.
