The Cobblestone Cardi is a lightly textured cardigan alternating stitch patterns in the body to create a subtle stripe effect. This cardigan is great for transitional weather if made in the Comfy cotton or great for colder times in an acrylic or wool yarn (although this could change the drape). 

I used Crochet.com Comfy Color Mist in notebook for this pattern Which you can find here: Comfy Color Mist | Crochet.com

Notes:

• Ch1 is counted in st count unless otherwise stated

• For this pattern:

  1. "hdc 2" means 2 hdc in next stitch (same stitch)

Special Stitches:

• sc or hdc between:

  • instead of crocheting in the loops of a stitch you crochet in the space between stitches. Its a shorter appearing stitch
