MillaMia Eve Cardigan
What is Being Made
The MillaMia Eve Cardigan is a women's crocheted cardigan available in four sizes to fit bust measurements from 82-87 cm (32-34 in) through to 112-117 cm (44-46 in). The finished cardigan features an actual bust measurement ranging from 97 cm (38 in) in the smallest size to 132 cm (52 in) in the largest size, with a consistent sleeve length of 34 cm (13½ in) across all sizes. The back neck length varies from 52 cm (20½ in) to 58 cm (22¾ in) depending on size selected. This is an intermediate-level crochet project suitable for those with improving skills who are ready to tackle seamed construction and embellished finishing techniques.
Crochet Techniques Used
The Eve Cardigan employs seamed construction and is worked flat, meaning individual pieces are crocheted separately and then sewn together to create the finished garment. This approach allows for precise shaping and professional finishing. The pattern includes optional embroidery embellishment work, which adds decorative detail to the completed cardigan. The design notes indicate that the cardigan is equally beautiful when made plain without embroidery, providing flexibility for crafters who prefer a simpler finish or wish to skip the embroidery step entirely.
Crochet Stitches and Abbreviations
The primary stitch used throughout the Eve Cardigan is double crochet (dc), which creates a fabric with good drape and structure suitable for a wearable cardigan. The pattern also utilizes chain stitches (ch) for foundation and shaping, slip stitch (ss) for joining, and treble crochet (tr) stitches in specific sections. Additional stitch techniques include dc2tog (double crochet two together) for decreasing, and chain spaces (ch-sp) for creating openwork details. The pattern follows both UK and US crochet terminology conventions, with clear translations provided for international crafters.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Eve Cardigan is designed to be made with MillaMia Naturally Soft Cotton, which is exclusively available through www.lovecrafts.com. The main body requires 12 to 16 balls of 50g weight depending on size selected, with the Seaweed (350) colorway featured in the primary pattern. For optional embroidery embellishment, small amounts of contrasting colors are needed: Off White, Sweet Pea, Duck Egg Teal, Bright Red, Lemon Yellow, and Indigo Purple. The pattern specifies a 3mm (US 2) crochet hook for achieving the correct gauge. Additional materials for embroidery work include medium weight water soluble stabilizer and a small embroidery hoop to support the decorative stitching process.
Gauge and Construction Details
The pattern specifies a tension of 24 double crochet stitches and 26 rows to a 10cm (4 in) square when worked with the 3mm (US 2) crochet hook. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for obtaining the proper finished measurements. The pattern includes helpful hints and tips specifically addressing the embroidery component, recognizing that decorative embroidery may be new to some crafters. Alternative colorway suggestions are provided for customization, including options such as Indigo Purple (321) for the body with Lemon Yellow (333) and Duck Egg Teal (351) for embroidery accents, or English Rose (342) combined with other coordinating shades from the MillaMia Naturally Soft Cotton range.
