Brax Women's Bette, Short Velvet Cardigan

Product Information

Lay cardigan out flat and fold the two “fronts” in to form shoulders/armholes. Sew shoulders together end for end using the Mattress Stitch. Do not weave in all of these ends yet. (We’ll use them to cinch any holes after both the edging and sleeves have been added). Row 13: Ch-1, turn, hdc2tog, hdc2tog, hdc in each st to end. (39) Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing shoulders. Do not weave in ends.

The bigger kids sizes of the Velvet Cardi are ready for your hook! For the child sizes of this velvet yarn cardigan pattern, I decided to split the posts into two: one for little kids (which can be found here) and one for big kids – this one! Note that this yarn is labeled as hand wash only, lay flat to dry. While this isn’t too bad for adults, the kids sizes may need more frequent laundering. Consider using a different bulky weight yarn, such as Bernat Softee Chunky. I bet that would work (and hold up) great! I used Red Heart Hygge for one of mine and I love it. You could also use Caron Latte Cakes or Red Heart With Love Chunky.
