Positano Pocket Cardigan

The Positao is a cardigan designed to be a bit warmer than some crochet sweaters, so I knew I needed to keep the stitch tight. I chose the spider stitch, which is just a sc v-stitch. Don’t worry there’s a video for that if it’s new to you! But I also don’t like to crochet tight-it hurts my hands and I like my clothes to have drape, so I upped the hook size a bit to compensate. And it’s a lovely combination, I think.

The scoop neck is designed to allow for pairing with your favorite cowl, scarf or turtle neck. The length falls just past the bottom, but is easily adjustable by adding/subtracting rows to all panels before beginning the scoop neck decreases or adding more hem rows. One of my marvelous testers made a cropped version that is just stunning.

My favorite part of this cardigan are the pockets! They are seamed into the sides and are perfectly placed to keep your hands warm. Pockets are optional and can easily be left off.
