The Lakeside Mist Cardigan is from my book Modern Crochet Sweaters: 20 Chic Designs for Everyday Wear. This book includes 20 #SizeInclusive sweater patterns using a variety of techniques and construction methods to ensure there is something of value for every skill level. Each pattern is written for sizes XS to 5XL and each size has been thoroughly tested! We had over 500+ crochet pattern testers for this book to make sure that each size fits its intended wearer in a way that makes them feel beautiful. You can buy this book with confidence, knowing that each pattern was written for you and your unique body measurements.

ABOUT
The perfect everyday cardigan is as integral to your wardrobe as a classic white tee or a well-fitting pair of jeans. This charming, flowy cardigan is possibly the most versatile design in the entire book, an everyday-essential that you’ll be reaching for time and time again. The slim-fit sleeves perfectly balance this relaxed cardigan, while the eye is drawn to the statement collar, a finishing detail that really brings this design to life. Slip it on for a comfortable yet polished look for a casual night out or a cozy weekend outfit. One thing’s for sure: You’re going to need one in every color.
