CROCHET HEART STITCH CARDIGAN




























I made the crochet cardigan for the 4 or 5 years girls. It is very easy to start. In this cardigan or girl jacket I used black and pink 2colors crochet yarn, both of the colors are good combination; I like both of the colors very much for my little girl.
You have to choose light worsted yarn for the summer cardigan; it is very comfortable for yours children. Some time we don’t want to make the sleeves, make the edges of the armhole’s in different edges designs. I made one picture for you. I used the picot stitch for the edges of the armhole.

I explain about you that this cardigan I made only for 4 or 5 years old, if you want to make the larger size so, continue some more the increasing rounds. In this cardigan I used the special stitch heart stitch. Some people use in this stitch a treble crochet or puff stitch. I explain about the puff stitch in the description. I thought it would be a great and beautiful stitch to use in many things like sweater, baby blanket or woman shawls. The crochet heart stitch consisting 3 rows repeat using two different colors. The crochet heart stitch is worked using a multiple of 7+1 chains.
When I made it all the family members like so much the pattern. It is very easy to making; I also enjoyed to crocheting it. I think you all like it and feel very easy to come out the pattern.
