Customer Reviews for No Seams Cardigan Crochet Pattern

I echo other reviewers. The pattern is well written and easy to follow so I gave it 4 stars, but the photo provided does not accurately reflect the final product. Maybe multiple views on the photo would help. I was also surprised at the open weave and the fullness of the coat overall and especially at the bottom. I will be making it again, but I am going to experiment a bit more to see how it comes out if I drop down a size and skip the open weave rows.

I did not realize how much open weave there was from the photo. I used the yarn recommended which is very silky doesn't lend shape, and easily tangles. I am making a second one with a different yarn and it will likely work up differently. I made the first one too long at first, and had to rip out 16 rows. The pattern is easy to work up otherwise.

I am making this cardigan right now. I'm on the bottom part and it really is looking like a peplum type coat because of all the increases. I am going to ripping out 18 rows, back to the joining of the front and back and eliminate the increases. I'm making a medium and the bottom is huge. I just don't like how the bottom is blossoming out and the pictures in the pattern don't really show enough detail. I don't think the drawings in the pattern are accurate either. Otherwise they wouldn't show straight edges below the waist, but would show how the coat FLARES out tremendously. I don't know if it's because the increases happens very quickly, you double the stitch count, on the first row, but I just don't like it. Still rating the pattern as a 4 because, it is easy to follow and well written.
