Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

I would name this sweater "Cross my Heart". I am adding this as a future project. I really like it.

Name Romantic High Seas

Would appreciate any help - I've made all the pieces, and sewed the sides and shoulders - but there doesn't seem to be any instructions for the collar that folds over and down the front? I love the cardigan, really want to finish it for a gift, so please, please, any help would be greatly appreciated. many thanks, jane

Hi janeramsey 2543107, we're sorry you're having trouble with this pattern. It seems as though the collar section you're referring to is actually the front pieces folded toward the shoulders, not a separate piece. Perhaps if you try adding the button as shown above, this will be easier to visualize. We hope this helps! - Editors of AllFreeCrochet

Many thanks for your reply. I've finally figured it out! On the pattern instructions, it is called 'lower edging', and is listed after the diagram of the sleeves. The actual finishing of the sleeves is after this instruction. Oops. I've found a couple of errors, mostly just an incorrect number in the size conversion data. But, all is well now, it was just a matter of the order of the instructions. I've made notes for next time. many thanks!

This is a lovely cardigan! I'm definitely placing it on my "future" list because I'll need to work up to it but that's okay. A lady needs some things to look forward to! In the meanwhile I'll need to learn the shell stitch and the dc2tog. I am soooo pleased that they remembered us larger women with the plus sizes included and for no "extra charge". Thanks for this beautiful free pattern!

What a beautiful sweater. The title says it all. A lacy buttoned cardigan, how can you go wrong with that? I was reading the directions to this intermediate design to determine if I was going to attempt to make it. There are 3 special crochet stitches and the pieces are made separately and then attached. I may just give it a go.

I appreciate that this pattern is written in more than one size. There are a lot of rows but reading over the directions they seem to pretty clear. Anytime I start a project and I run into a little snag I typically give up. This lacy button cardigan is the perfect gift for my little sister so I will not give up on this project.

Tried this craft? What did you think?

At first you'd take this cardigan for granted but the many times you'd see this piece all over again, you will have a second look. I like the teal yarn used and the stitches are so intricate, very appropriate for this Victorian Romance Cardigan project.

If I feel confident enough, I would surely like to take on this lacy teal colored sweater shrug. It is amazingly beautiful. I love the full range of sizes that are offered, as I am a plus sized gal. The 52 inch bust is perfect for me. I think the design should be very figure flattering, as the cut is tapered in at the bust/high waist.

I can't say how darling this sweater is. I made it up for my daughter so of course, it had to be done in a pretty teal. I personally can't wait to crochet one or two for myself. I think it's perfect for a dressy affair, or in the fall with a pair of leggings and boots.

I love the look of this cardigan sweater. So feminine looking. The length is perfect for me because I do not care for sweaters or shorts that go too far below the waistline. It does look very comfy and inviting. Would look great paired with a pair of jeans or a dress or skirt. Sorry I missed the contest. Maybe I can catch the next one.

I made this pattern in a rich plum colour and it worked out perfectly. I love wearing it with an ankle length bohemian hippy skirt that I have had for well on 15 years! However, the cardi is versatile as I wear it to work, with jeans and even over summer dresses.

Im doing the back and it's huge. Im using a 6 mm hook and Aran yarn as it says. The front seems to be ok but the back goes right around me it's so big. Any help or suggestions for me?,

This is beautiful...could it be made longer? Anyone do that?

Absolutely Beautiful Cardigan!

What about Tanalizing Teal Cardigan or Down by the Sea Cardigan. Oh, oh, or Cliffs of Moher Cardigan!

And by tanalizing, I mean tantalizing.

Gorgeous! It reminds me of Lord of the Rings, particularly something a (very trendy) hobbit might wear. I would call it "Hobbiton Home Cardigan".

This is so pretty! I'd call it Arielle's "Under the Sea" Cardigan.

"The Modern Outlander Cardigan"!!! It would be perfect. And it looks like something from the Outlander series!

This cardigan is so cute, I would definitely wear this! I'd call it the "Trendy in Teal Buttoned Cardigan" because trendy is one of the only t-adjectives I can think of.
