The Velma Cardigan is a cropped, drop-shoulder button-up cardigan worked almost entirely out of HTR. It’s made using Aran yarn so it’s super squishy and very quick to work up! It’s an incredibly versatile make: you can wear Velma open, buttoned and with or without a layer underneath.

The HTR rows are worked vertically to produce a knit-like ribbed effect with the magic of crochet. The cardigan is worked flat in simple shapes then sewn together to form the garment. It’s a very simple make: perfect for beginners and experts alike!
