Introducing the Goldenrod Crochet Cardigan by Your BiCrafty Bestie, Marly Bird! This vibrant, cozy cardigan is perfect for adding a pop of color to your wardrobe. The Goldenrod Cardigan pattern is designed with beginner-friendly instructions and features a relaxed, comfy fit that’s perfect for layering.

Living in Colorado, I know firsthand how unpredictable fall weather can be—it’s 80 degrees one moment and 50 the next! That’s why I designed the Goldenrod Crochet Cardigan, a versatile, easy-to-wear layering piece that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re heading out for coffee or cozying up at home, this cardigan has you covered.

Cardigans are a wardrobe essential, and the Goldenrod Crochet Cardigan is no exception. Its easy construction begins with a one-piece back, with sleeve shaping as simple as adding chain stitches where indicated in the pattern. The beautiful lace stitch pattern adds interest without being overly complex—though there’s a key tip to keep in mind: on the first repeat row, you’ll need to chain a specific number of stitches and work into them before returning to the main piece. The pattern’s thoughtful edging incorporates post stitches for texture and structure, with a top chain detail that adds a flattering linear effect along the body.
