Crochet Duster Cardigan/Kimono/Coverup Tutorial Pattern and Kit

Details

A floaty, open cardigan that can be worn as a kimono, cover-up, robe, or duster. Worked in flat rectangles (back + two front yokes), then sleeves in the round. Edges are finished with a simple half-double-crochet band. Because mohair (and airy dc fabric) can “grow,” the pattern is measurement-driven with growth notes.
