Notes From the Designer:

With the nostalgic charm of lace and a modern silhouette, Collette is a cardigan that is easily adaptable to a wide range of styles. Make it your own with a choice of close fitting or loose, short or long, with or without sleeves. Choose a soft pastel color, or something bold and bright, to create a sweater that best reflects your personality.

The sweater is worked from the bottom up, allowing for two places to make adjustments to the length. Sleeves are worked separately and stitched to the body after the fronts and back have been joined at the shoulder. The main lace pattern used throughout the sweater is easily memorized. Designing for 10 sizes requires a rather long pattern, but don’t let that sway you. The sweater is suitable for an intermediate to advanced crocheter, requiring no difficult stitches. 

  • Click the Videos tab to watch a tutorial on how to work the lace pattern.
  • The sample with sleeves is a Size 3 (39.5”/100 cm), and the sleeveless version is a Size 2 (35”/89 cm). Both are shown on a 34” (86.5 cm) bust.
  • The RS and WS are nearly identical. It is strongly recommended to place a marker on the RS to make it easy to identify.
  • There are bracketed instructions that apply to only some sizes (written in bold). It is strongly suggested that you look through the pattern and circle all repeat numbers that apply to your size and cross out bracketed instructions that do not apply.
  • Two options exist for altering the length of the cardigan. In Section 1, changing the number of repeats of R2-R3 will change the length of the split. Similarly, changing the number of repeats of R6 in Section 2 will also alter the length to the underarm.
  • As with the length of the cardigan, the split may be customized. For a shorter split, reduce the number of repeats of R2-R3 (Section 1). To maintain the length of the cardigan as designed, you must add repeats of R6 (Section 2) to equal the number of rows removed in Section 1.
  • If you find that the join at the top of the split is pulling while you work, add locking stitch markers to keep the edges together.

This pattern was fun to crochet and I am happy with the sweater I was able to crochet. I struggled a little with the written instructions so the pattern diagram was extremely helpful. I made the short sleeve and will be making a long sleeve next. Thank you for another beautiful pattern!

I love the look of this cute top. The directions were a little hard to follow with the different sizes. I did start it but the yarn I had was not the right weight and was not giving the same look. I will try again at another time.
