This Fair Isle style cardigan features a lovely heart stitch yoke that has a refined yet rustic vibe. I created this design intending it to be used for those special occasions such as the holidays or a birthday party, but its versatility makes it great for casual layering too.

This pattern is written in standard U.S. crochet terms for the advanced beginner to intermediate crocheter who is comfortable with simple one color per row color work, different combinations of standard stitches in the same row, decreasing, and working in rows below the usual working row. Pattern comes with 5 size options for all the girls in your life!

Sample made using Shibui Baby Alpaca DK in colors suit, peony, and ivory and worked with a 6mm J hook. Please note that I used a larger hook than what is usually called for with this yarn to get a drapey look. Please do a gauge swatch before working the pattern to make sure the sizing will come out okay for you.
