HUE AND ME MOUNTAIN TOP CARDI
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
6 (7, 7, 8) (10, 11, 12, 13) skeins Juniper main colour MC
1 (1, 1, 1) (2, 2, 2, 2) skein(s) Cement contrast colour CC1
1 (1, 1, 1) (1, 2, 2, 2) skein (s) Arrowwood contrast colour 2 CC2
- 1 skein (all sizes) Agave for contrast colour 3 CC3
- Size 10m crochet hook.
- Scissors, yarn needle, tape measure.
TENSION
9.5 sts + 5.5 rows = 10cm in half treble crochet through the back loop.
PATTERN NOTES
Cardigan is worked flat from the bottom up in one piece to the armholes, then the back and front panels are split and worked separately. Sleeves are worked flat from the bottom up. Turn at the end of each row. The ch 2 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.
Colour work is achieved with intarsia crochet, whereby separate balls or bobbins of each colour are used for each colour block rather than stranding or crocheting over the unused colours. Separate contrast colours 1 and 2 into two balls each before beginning in order to do this. To change colour, work the last yarn over of the previous stitch with the new colour. When changing colour on the right side of the work, leave the previous colour at the back of the work
