Kyrie Cardigan Crochet Pattern

Kyrie Cardigan in Berroco Remix

What is Being Made

The Kyrie Cardigan is a crochet cardigan designed by Alison Green, offering an intermediate-level project suitable for crafters with foundational crochet skills. This garment is available in ten size options, ranging from 34½ inches to 66½ inches bust measurement, with finished lengths between 21 and 22¾ inches. The cardigan features a front opening with a gap of approximately 5¾ to 6¾ inches, making it a versatile layering piece. The pattern recommends 4–6 inches of positive ease for comfortable wear.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The Kyrie Cardigan employs a repeating Pattern Stitch that creates an open, textured fabric ideal for lightweight cardigans. This stitch pattern uses a multiple of 3 plus 4 chains as the foundation.

The core stitches used throughout the pattern include:

• Double crochet (dc) – the primary stitch forming the structure of the garment
• Chain stitches (ch) – used both for foundation chains and to create openwork spacing within rows
• Stitch markers – essential notions for tracking pattern repeats and shaping increases or decreases

The Pattern Stitch works over three rows in a repeating cycle. Row 1 establishes the foundation by working [dc, ch 1, dc] groups into every third chain, creating an openwork base. Row 2 builds density by working 3 double crochets into each chain-1 space from the previous row, along with a double crochet in the turning chain. Row 3 returns to the open stitch pattern by working [dc, ch 1, dc] into the middle double crochet of each 3-dc group. Rows 2 and 3 repeat throughout the project to build the fabric.

This stitch pattern creates a balanced fabric with both solid and open areas, providing visual interest while maintaining structural integrity. The gauge for this pattern is 7 (dc, ch 1, dc) groups and 9 rows equaling 4 inches by 10 centimeters in the Pattern Stitch, making accurate gauge checking essential for proper fit.

Materials: Yarn and Tools

The Kyrie Cardigan is designed to be worked in Berroco Remix Light, a yarn weight suitable for creating lightweight, drape-friendly cardigans. Yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from 3 balls (100 grams each) for the smallest sizes to 5 balls for the largest sizes. The pattern specifies color #6965 Plum for the photographed sample.

A size D / 3.25 mm crochet hook is used throughout the project. Stitch markers are recommended notions to assist in tracking pattern repeats and construction points. The pattern uses US crochet terminology throughout, and Berroco recommends using the specified yarn for best results and accurate measurements.
