This is a long cardigan or coat, depending on your leaning, that really lends itself to style and comfort. It is mid-thigh length and worked in as seamless as possible, needing only seam the shoulders and sleeves, the body is worked as one piece.<\/p>\n<p>The simple stitch pattern really allows the yarn to make some dazzling affects as it shines as the hero. This design is created in Manos del Uruguay Gloria, a soft superwash Merino medium weight yarn, which is a dream to work with. It has nice stitch definition and has a great variety of colors (my sample is in colorway Malaquita)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/2018P_Camac-2_medium2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2374 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/2018P_Camac-2_medium2-243x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/2018P_Camac-2_medium2-243x300.jpg 243w, http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/2018P_Camac-2_medium2.jpg 518w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a>There is a simple turned edge boarding this entire coat that is actually the same stitch pattern as the rest of the fabric but uses a much larger hook to create a contrast in the fabric. The change in the hook size causes a tension between the two fabrics and this causes the edge to curl. I think it adds a simple yet endearing quality to this design.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly I love the mid-thigh length, it offers a wrap yourself up in it kind of feel, that warms my heart has well as keeps me warm. I tend to find that sweaters designed to hit the waist area makes me look a bit shorter while a longer length helps elongate my appearance, so I tend to lean this way a bit in my designing. If for some reason you want to make this design shorter for your liking, simply finish the row rep for the Body section a few rows early.<\/p>\n<p>It is nice to finally see the end product of your work, it is usually always worth the wait (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/camac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can check it out here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of Fairmount Fibers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crochet and time have interesting effects for me.
