Earl Grey Cardigan Crochet Pattern
The Earl Grey Cardgian pattern is worked as a beginner garment design, so even if you’ve never made a cardi you’ll be able to give this a try. By heavily blocking the sweater it opens up the stitches and gives it a gorgeous spring feel.
The Earl Grey Cardi was designed as part of the Ice Cream Social Collection.
Ice cream social = a gathering of people with the main focus being ice cream and socializing. And after 2020 I am so ready for some ice cream with friends. So, I had the idea to create a collection of patterns all named after ice cream flavors.
If you’d like to see all the patterns from the Ice Cream Social Collection you can find them at the bottom of this post.
