Crochet Reversible Cardigan Pattern

The much-awaited 2 in 1 crochet reversible cardigan pattern is here!!! I am literally screaming as I type because this is a dream come true.

This pattern is not just one of my patterns; it is unique in numerous ways.

First, it is my 100th pattern published on Ravelry. Secondly, my first reversible cardigan, which gives no room for right or wrong sides. Have you noticed that the design on either side is different? This makes it even more exciting.

As if that is not enough, the cardigan HAS POCKETS and yes, the pockets are also reversible! Plus, this cardigan is super warm, Cozy, and not heavy at all. What else do you look for in a cardigan other than all these?

Inspiration

The Chic reversible cardigan was inspired, like most of my designs, out of curiosity. Yes, it gets the better part of me.

I hate caging my imagination; I allow it to go wild, think the unimaginable, and combine the inconceivable. I wanted a cozy, warm cardigan with pockets, and this is the outcome.

In case this is the first time seeing this reversible pattern of mine, let me introduce you to the other items in the reversible family.

Construction Notes

1. This jacket is worked in rows.

2. Pattern is worked from Hips upwards, with splits for pockets and sleeves.

4. The only sewing required is at the shoulder, Pockets, and cuff seams.

Adjustments/fittings 

1.     Length: Increase or decrease the repeats before splitting for armhole opening.

2.     You can make a shorter version. Instructions to do this are included in the pattern.

3.     Armpit:

Too tight: To prevent this from happening, once you join the shoulder seam, try the cardigan on. If too tight, add a few more rows before joining the shoulder seam.

Too loose: Sew together to the desired length once completed, before starting the sleeves.

4.     Fitting/Picking a size: Check to make sure you have similar measurements for the Hips (or the widest part of your body). Don’t pick a size using your bust measurement.

Increase or reduce the number of repeats in the front edging for a better fitting.

5.     You can skip the split for pockets if you do not want pockets on yours.
