Rowan Magazine - Crochet Collection eBook
Overview
This downloadable PDF eBook from Rowan features a curated crochet collection of 10 original designs created by Lisa Richardson. The collection includes cardigans, scarves, shawls, and sweaters and jumpers, offering a diverse range of projects suitable for crocheters of varying skill levels.
Featured Designs
The collection showcases multiple garment types designed to suit different occasions and preferences. Each design is presented with comprehensive pattern instructions, sizing information, and yarn requirements to guide crafters through the creation process.
Bari Cardigan
Project Type: The Bari design is a fitted cardigan available in five size options, ranging from bust measurements of 81-86 cm (32-34 inches) through to 122-127 cm (48-50 inches), with actual garment bust measurements from 92 cm to 132 cm.
Crochet Techniques and Stitches: The Bari cardigan employs a sophisticated stitch pattern that repeats over 8 rows. The pattern utilizes fundamental crochet stitches including double crochet (dc), chain stitches (ch), and slip stitches (ss). The construction incorporates decorative spacing created through chain spaces (sp), which are strategically placed throughout the pattern to create an open, textured fabric. The pattern demonstrates shaping techniques through strategic slip stitching across stitches to reduce stitch counts progressively, creating tailored side shaping for a fitted silhouette.
Materials: The Bari cardigan is crafted using Rowan Summerlite 4ply yarn, a lightweight 4-ply weight yarn suitable for creating delicate, breathable garments. The pattern requires 5 x 50 gram balls of yarn across all sizes (the example shown is photographed in the colorway Green Bay 445). Construction is completed using a 3.00mm (US C2/D3) crochet hook.
Tension and Fit: The pattern specifies a tension of 25 stitches and 24 rows to 10 centimeters when measured over the stitch pattern using the recommended 3.00mm hook. Achieving correct tension is essential for obtaining the proper finished garment measurements and ensuring the cardigan fits as intended.
