Capricorn Cardi Crochet by Crochet Highway

Capricorn Cardi Crochet Patern by Crochet Highway

The Capricorn Cardi is highly textured cardigan that looks completely different when turned inside out. Wear it with the right side out for an elegant look where the main color is dominant and the beauty of the beloved alpine stitch shines. Or flip it and see the magic of the contrast color come to life through horizontal stripes on the wrong side!

Just like the all the other designs in the #MyZodiacSweater collection, for this vest you’ll only have to work with 1 color at a time, dropping the inactive yarn at the start of a round and picking it back up at the start of the new round.

Shown here in Kent DK: White Caps as the main color (MC) and Mussel Shell, Beach Pebble, Folkestone, Tidepool, Gray Pearl, and White Sand as the contrast colors (CC), Cooper Buttons.

Suggested yarn: 

DK or sport weight yarn in at least 1 main color (MC), and 1 contrast color (CC). Animal fibers such as merino are ideal for a warm and cozy cardigan in the winter season, and plant-based fiber blends, such as cotton + bamboo, will work great for a lighter cardi that can be worn as a transitional piece.
