Crochet Trendy Spring Cardigan Coat with Braided pattern
Hello My Crochet Friends!
I am following up on the previous post "how to crochet trendy no seam vest" and today I would like to show you how to crochet a beautiful modern cardigan coat from this vest.
The cardigan coat has an extended length to the knees.
I believe that you will be pleased with the simple construction, where you crochet the entire vest as one piece without sewing and we only crochet the sleeves into the armholes.
I continued crocheting with Papatya Batik Cotton Blend yarn - a gray-toned color with subtle transitions from light, slightly creamy to dark gray, anthracite. I really love this beautiful yarn, it is nice, soft and great to work with.
This cardigan coat is an interesting, modern, original piece to your wardrobe. It can be worn from spring to autumn and can be worn almost any time of the year to work or the office, as well as for different kinds of occasions.
I chose a simple pattern of double crochet and half double crochet stitches and I chose a braided pattern for the waist and also a braided pattern for the sleeves from top down.
The cardigan coat is slightly narrowed at the waist part thanks to the braided pattern and looks very elegant.
The written pattern and the instructions bellow are for size L, you can easily adjust this size to be larger or smaller, you can crochet the coat longer or shorter, whatever style suits you.
I believe that this simple, modern and elegant cardigan coat pattern will please not only you, but also your friends or colleagues.
Are you looking forward to this modern cardigan coat with a braided pattern?
So let's get straight to work so you can go out in this jacket as soon as possible.

The choice of yarn was easy - I had ready a beautiful pleasant light iridescent self-patterning yarn Papatya Batik Cotton Blend, a pleasant mixture of white cotton and acrylic.

This yarn made from cotton-acrylic, so it’s soft, affordable, and really easy to care for. Plus, this yarn comes in more than 10 gorgeous colors.
For a women's COAT size L, you will need: 6 balls for the vest + 2 balls for the sleeves (consumption of 1 ball for 1 sleeve), a total of 8 balls

FRONT POST DOUBLE CROCHET AND BACK POST DOUBLE CROCHET STITCHES
front post double crochet (fpdc) and back post double crochet (bpdc)
Front and back post crochet stitches are used to create wonderful texture in crochet. Instead of making your stitch through the loops at the top of the stitch, you make it around the stitch. Everything else stays the same. The most challenging things about crochet post stitches are knowing where and how to insert the hook. There are front post stitches and back post stitches.
For front post double crochet stitches (fpdc): yarn over, insert your hook from front to back then from back to front around post of stitch indicated, yarn over, pull through stitch, then finish your double crochet as normal, yarn over, pull through 2 lps, yarn over, pull through last 2 lps
For back post double crochet stitches (bpdc): yarn over, you insert your hook from back to front then from front to back around post stitch indicated, yarn over, pull through stitch, then finish your double crochet as normal, yarn over, pull through 2 lps, yarn over, pull through last 2 lps
PATTERN NOTES
1) Before you start take a measurement of height of your body and a body measurement (please see the final measurement of the vest below).
2) This pattern is for LARGE Woman size, but you can easily adapt to a smaller size or bigger size just by making the rectangles bigger or smaller.
Make the rectangle bigger or smaller just by reducing or increasing the number of rows.
Remember that when making your poncho bigger you will need more yarn.
3) A ch2/ch3 at beg of the round counts as a stitch throughout.
4) The Vest is made up of one big rectangles
5) The sleeves are made in spiral rounds, from the arm holes to the end.
6) The Vest / rectangle for L size measures (width x length): 124 cm / 48.3 inch (front, back, front part) and 100 cm / 40 inch long
The Sleeve is: 18 cm / 7 inch width at the top and 14 cm / 5.5 inch at the end. The lenght is 42 cm / 16.4 inch
*Measurements are taken from the garment lying flat, before the yarn has stretched out/dropped.
7) The vest is worked in one piece, in vertical rows, back and forth, from front edge to front edge on the opposite sites. The sleeves are crochet from armholes top down as a one piece as well.
CONSTRUCTION
This vest is made from one big crochet rectangle with two arm holes.
The number of stitches you begin with is the length of your rectangle.
The number of rows you work is the width of your rectangle.
You will continue working the rows until your vest measures the provided width.
There is a crochet braided pattern at waist part.
You crochet and repeat the pattern until you are satisfied with the width of the vest.
We repeat 4 rows of the braided pattern, the crossing is every 4th row.
According to your measurements, crochet a large rectangle.
In the armholes, we crochet sleeves with a braided pattern that starts at shoulder level.
The instructions are simple and we repeat only 4 rows.
