Thought I’d share this one as my first post here because it makes me smile every time.

The pattern is Lorelei Cardigan by Deni Sharpe who is one of my favourite crochet designers, her stuff is always fairly simple to make and just looks good.

So I’d made my own mustard yellow version of this and worn it basically every day for a whole year (you can probably see it’s a bit worse for wear in this photo, and believe me I’ve worn it a LOT more since!) and my grandma was very taken with it. Her favourite colour is blindingly bright red, so it was obvious what I had to do.

Most of the red one was made while doing a day-long marathon of the LotR extended editions, and my wrists were sore the next day. But the whole thing worked up pretty quickly and I reckon I managed to get her pockets attached much more securely than I ever did mine, so that’s a win!

Needless to say, she loved it. Major granddaughter points right there.

    I’m normally not that much of a fan of crochet cardigans, but these are stunning! I love the drape (and that mustard yellow is chefs’ kiss!)

      Thanks! Me neither tbh but I saw this pattern and fell in love. Honestly, wouldn’t be opposed to making even more of them in different colours (and maybe another mustard one too because it’s definitely been worn to death haha)
