About
Inspired by the cold, winter days that beg you to curl up by the fire, my goal was to create a stylish garment that embodies the warmth and coziness of your favorite blanket or comfy robe. I consider this to be a wardrobe staple for the homebodies; somewhat of an informal, everyday piece.
Utilizing a mix of single crochet stitches and chain spaces, the granite stitch creates an unstructured, airy fabric that flows beautifully as it follows your movement. Landing just below the knee, this duster cardigan lends a sleek, lengthening effect to any outfit. The slim-fitting sleeves combined with a neat-looking collar and hem help balance the relaxed, boxy fit. These finishing details add sophistication while maintaining the dramatic, oversized vibe that we love so much.

Note that different colorways of have varying yardage. Make sure to check the yardage listed on the label of your desired colorway to ensure you have enough yarn from the same dye lot before beginning.
Substitute with any medium-weight, category #4 yarn that matches gauge. Just note that certain fibers (such as cotton) are heavier than the one shown and will stretch more than an acrylic fiber over time. You can compensate for this stretching by working your cardigan slightly shorter than your desired length.
