Lang 267-38 Jacket Cardigan Crochet Pattern

Lang 267-38 Kimberley Crochet Jacket

Garment Overview

The Lang 267-38 Kimberley is a crocheted cardigan jacket designed for sizes S–M with a finished bust measurement of 44 inches (112 cm) and a length of 21¼ inches (54 cm). This downloadable crochet pattern produces a lightweight, textured jacket suitable for layering and everyday wear.

Construction Method

This jacket is worked flat in separate pieces that are later seamed together. The garment is constructed using a bottom-up approach, meaning pieces are crocheted from the lower edge upward toward the shoulders and neckline. This method allows for easy adjustments to length during the crafting process.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The Lang 267-38 Kimberley features lace patterning as a primary design element, creating an open, airy fabric with visual interest. The pattern utilizes a repeating 12-stitch motif that is worked according to a provided chart.

Key stitches employed in this design include:

• Double crochet (dc) – the primary structural stitch providing body and drape
• Double treble (dtr) – used to create height and openness within the lace pattern
• Half double crochet (h dc) – employed for shaping and stitch transitions
• Single crochet (sc) – used for finishing edges and seaming
• Chain stitches (ch) – essential for creating the open spaces characteristic of lace patterns

The lace pattern is worked in rows, with the chart showing both right-side and wrong-side rows. Crocheters work rows 1–10 once, then repeat rows 2–10 throughout the piece to build the desired length. The pattern incorporates a technique where stitches are skipped and subsequent stitches are worked into previously skipped stitches from the front, creating dimensional lace effects.

Materials and Tools

The Lang 267-38 Kimberley requires LANGYARNS KIMBERLEY yarn in the color aqua (shade 1067.0072). This yarn is a blend of cotton, hemp, and polyester, totaling 650 grams or 13 balls for the size S–M jacket. The fiber blend creates a breathable, durable fabric with natural texture.

Crocheters will need an ADDI crochet hook in size US G-6 (4mm) to achieve proper gauge and fabric consistency. The recommended gauge for the lace pattern is 17 stitches and 8 rows measured over 4 inches (10 cm) using the US G-6 hook.

Pattern Structure

The jacket is constructed with a back piece and front pieces that are worked separately following the provided chart. The back begins with a foundation chain of 97 stitches plus 1 turning chain. Pieces are then crocheted according to the lace chart pattern, with shaping occurring as needed for armholes and neckline. Once all pieces reach their finished dimensions, they are seamed together using single crochet or mattress stitch techniques to create a polished, professional finish.
