Pumpkin Spice Cardigan: Cozy Hexagon Crochet Pattern in Eclectic Grandpa Style, Family-Friendly Sizes, Unisex Design, Fall Crochet Project
The 'Pumpkin Spice' Cardigan is a delightful autumn crochet project crafted for those who wish to relax through meditative stitching. It’s ideal for crocheters who love to carry their project bag wherever they go and enjoy adding their unique touch to the designer's instructions.
This cardigan is made from Universal Yarn Deluxe DK Tweed and features a hexagon-based design. Two hexagons are seamlessly joined and accented with elastic cuffs at the sleeves and hem, resulting in a modern 'eclectic grandpa' aesthetic. The slightly gathered lower part of the cardigan forms soft, rounded shapes, and the warm yarn color inspired the cozy pumpkin theme, perfect for autumn.
If you prefer, you can opt for straight sleeves and hem. The collar is also an optional feature; I love that it can be folded down or raised for extra warmth on chilly days. By varying the number of stripes, you can customize the cardigan to match your preferred style—whether fitted or oversized, cropped or long, and with long sleeves or elbow-length—based on your preferences. Just think about what you envision for this project before getting started.
The pattern is written in English, utilizing US crochet terminology. I've also included a diagram for the hexagon for better understanding. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
For an oversized fit that corresponds to a US M/L size (details below), I used nearly all 8 balls of DK weight yarn. However, feel free to experiment with different yarn weights. Choose lighter yarn for a more delicate drape or thicker yarn for a quicker project. This flexibility in yarn choice allows for both personal style and practicality.
