Women’s Knit Play Day Cardigan

After making the Child’s Play Day Cardigan and seeing how nice it was for them to wear it going out to play, but also how well it worked to be layered when we were going someplace nice I thought it would make a great cardigan for a woman. Don’t we also want things that are versatile to wear in different situations, from going to get groceries to dressing up for work or church? Don’t we also want something that looks tailored and well fitting but comfortable at the same time?

Weekender Cardigan Crochet Pattern

Earlier this spring I came to the realization that I did not have any handmade wool sweaters to wear. Living in Michigan it is cold, and I’m always cold. I have found that layers that include wool garments have become my best friends in staying warm. I have several men’s wool sweaters from our local thrift store that I wear around the house, but I didn’t have anything that was presentable to go out in or that I had made.

So, while the weather was still cool and full on summer heat hadn’t arrived, I began to design and make a wool sweater cardigan for myself. Since I had wool sweaters I knew I wanted more of a jacket or cardigan because it is easier to take on or off if you get hot. It also has the option to be worn unbuttoned. Practicality and versatility are always a priority for me.

Welcome to the studio – I’m Cathy! I’m a mother that loves to design and make with yarn – from crochet, hand knitting and machine knitting, and even making the yarn by spinning! I hope that you are inspired in my studio!
