Notes from the Designer:

Wonder is a loose-fitting cardigan that makes you feel like you are wearing a hug. This pattern begins as a simple rectangle and then magically transforms into a comfortable shrug-style cardigan with minimal folding and sewing, making it the perfect project for crocheters who wish to build on their garment making skills to create unique crochet items for their wardrobe.

• The Updated Version used approximately 1,669 yds/1,526 m total: Color A: 1,230 yds/1,125 m, Color B: 218 yds/199 m, and Color C: 221 yds/202 m.
• The Original Version was crocheted with our Sincere Sock yarn. It used three skeins of A) Gray Pearl, one skein of B) Clover, and one skein of C) Seedpod.
• Both sizes are shown modeled on a 34” (86 cm) bust.
• The pattern is designed for one size, but can easily be adjusted by adding or removing rows.
• This cardigan is worked from the bottom up in a simple rectangular shape. Once finished and blocked, the piece is then folded in half, and seams are worked along the indicated lengths on each side to form armholes. Sleeves are worked directly onto the armholes after seaming.
• Schematics are included for measurements and finishing.
• Gauge is very crucial to this project. Be sure to check often.
• Beginning chain does not count as a stitch in the row count unless otherwise stated.
• This pattern is written using three colors. If you choose to work the pattern in one color, ignore the color change directions, and proceed with your chosen color.
• When working with multiple skeins of the same hand-dyed color, alternating skeins every couple of rows is recommended to avoid color pooling. Watch a video of this technique here. If you are only working with one skein of a given color, alternating is not necessary.
