Time to Double Those Diamonds!
Ready to add the fancy? Again, thank you so much for joining this Double Diamonds Sweater Crochet Along! In case you missed it, you can find my intro post about this crochet along, as well as all the necessary information needed, here and part 1 can be found here. For those who are just joining in, mine is already made, but I'm working behind the scenes on a paid cardigan pattern for those of you who may be interested. 😉
This week we’re going to start the front panel. It has my Double Diamonds pattern, which I also used in my Double Diamonds Afghans. The reversible pattern can be found here and the nonreversible can be found here. Next week, we’ll do the sleeves, which also feature a bit of fancy. Then, we'll finish up with the neck ribbing and assembling everything together.
Consider becoming a member to receive emails when the next part is available or join my group on Facebook here for CAL releases, pattern help, general crochet talk, & to see what I'm up to! All levels are welcome from very beginners to extreme experts!
