RIVERBEND CARDIGAN
December 15, 2017 / by Tamara Kelly / 55 Comments
I have discovered a love for simple crochet garments, and the Riverbend Cardigan is
my favorite so far! And I’m sharing the pattern free here on Moogly – introducing
the Riverbend Cardigan!
https://www.mooglyblog.com/riverbend-cardigan/ 1/41

by Furls.
EASY TO MAKE, EASY TO WEAR
The Riverbend Cardigan is oversized, super cozy, and the perfect topper for jeans
and leggings. Made in two shades of yarn, it’s a fantastic neutral piece you’ll want to
throw on every day! This yarn is now discontinued, so pick your favorite
worsted/aran/medium-weight yarn instead!
I’ve designed the Riverbend Cardigan in two sizes – Misses and Plus. Both are loose
fitting, so already one size fits most. With two options, it should be one size fits all…
or at least the vast majority! And the stitch multiple is included below if you prefer
a custom size.
The main stitch pattern is the Twin V Stitch, which I have a tutorial already up for
here on Moogly – look for the link below!

Tina
Just curious what your suggestion would be for making sleeves on this beautiful,
seemingly simple cardigan?
R E P LY
Tamara Kelly
Thank you Tina! Rather than making the armhole edgings, I would work in the
round using the twin V stitch – any multiple of 3 sts in the armhole would be a
good setup, but you can easily skip/not skip an extra stitch in the armpit if
needed to make it work – or adjust how many stitches you put into the side
seam.
To work the Twin V stitch in the round, I would split the repeat in half – ch 3
and dc in the first st, skip 2 sts, work around in pattern, then finish with 2 dc in
the last st (right next to the first two), then join. You can keep working in one
direction at this point, or use turned rounds if you’d prefer to keep your seam
straight.
Then I’d just work to length, and finally add that armhole edging! I hope that
helps!

I am having an issue when I get to row 43. It is not lining up with row 41. I have tried
6 times. I am making the missy size. I am reach 45 stitches and still have 2 stitches
left.

Thanks for this beautiful pattern. I’ll be sure to try it — but one qu stion: 10-12 ply
yarn???? I wasn’t aware that such a thing existed! Can I use 3 or 4 strands of a 4 ply
yarn instead?? Or just pick up a “bulky” 6 ply yarn???
R E P LY
Tamara Kelly
Hi Chris! The “ply” is for UK readers to try to find an equivalent – it’s kind of
confusing, but basically in the UK they say “ply” where in the US we would talk
about “weight” or thickness – ie “4” or Medium or Worsted. It doesn’t refer to
the actual strands of string that make up the yarn. You don’t want a bulky yarn
for this pattern, just a medium weight one.
R E P LY
Chris
Thanks! I’ll go shopping for a great looking 4 ply yarn tomorrow! It’s really
a beautiful piece of apparel. Happy New Year to all! .

Hello dear Tamara. It is so nice to receive some nice and very easy patterns that we
can wair Dalie indoors or out. Would it be at all possible? To have the pattern in
pictures like drowings in stead for reading the pattern. I am very oldely person(83)
and it is so difficult to fallow the writing. I use to read the pictures that is how I can
fallow the pattern. Please. Would it be at all possible? I would be so grateful to you
if it can be done. It is looking so nice and I do wish to make it, but can not fallow the
written pattern. Thank you so very much for your kindness. Love all what you are
teaching and I do fallow all your site as I have sign up for it for a very long time now.
You are a very, very clever Lady. May God bless you for all what you are doing. Best
wishes and kind regard always: Juli.

Thanks so much for the larger sizes. I wear a 4-5X and finding a pattern is so
difficult.
Very few individuals and only 1 1 yarn distributor designs clothing for 5X
individuals. It’s a huge (bad pun intended) problem.

I’ve been plus sized myself, I understand the struggle! I’m so glad you like it!

carrie townsend
Hi Tamara, thx for this wonderful design. I’m giving it a go. I just wanted to check
something with you please. I’m doing the plus size version and I’m up to row 48. It
says to “break colour a”, but then it says to join colour b in row 51. Am I reading it
wrong or is there an error in the colour changes. I also noticed in the second front
panel there seems to be a similar issue???
Thx

I’m so sorry about that Carrie, sometimes when working out the various sizes I
miss a change. I’ve updated the pattern! Thank you for bringing this to my

Question for row 41 am I repeating the step 9 times or is it 11 times
R E P LY
Tamara Kelly
It depends on what size you are making – the Misses size repeats 9 times, the
Plus size repeats 11 times.
R E P LY
Chloe
I am making a misses size when I repeat 9 times I am not ending with 45

dc stitches what I am doing wrong? thank you for your help and awesome

Hi Chloe! It’s hard to say without more info. Would you please email
me at tamarakelly@mooglyblog.com with perhaps a photo or more
details?

Soffity
Dear Tamara , I’m so pleased you have taken up my request to put the “ply” of the
yarn for your uK readers and us Aussies. It’s very helpful so thanks. . I was
wondering what size bust the two sizes would be suitable for, it’s obviouly a very
loose fit, I find sizes are so variable. In one shop a small size fits and in the next their
extra large is too tightl
R E P LY
Tamara Kelly
I’m so glad it’s helping! It’s one of those things I plan to go back and add to
old patterns as I “fix” them up – in all my spare time, of course.
So since this sweater doesn’t have a zipper or buttons, and has a lot of stretch,
there’s definitely a lot of bust room! But if you were to hold it closed, the
Misses would accommodate up to a 64″ bust without having to stretch, and the
Plus would accommodate up to a 76″ bust without stretching.

Cannot wait to make this one. I got a yarn gift card for Christmas and this works out
nicely. I am going to adjust the size slightly since I am 2x and need more than one
but not quite as large as the other. I have adjusted patterns before so I am going to
give it a shot. Thanks for the stitch pattern numbers.

I am making this with some yarn that I have. For color B I have about 620 yards. Do
you think that will be enough, or should I narrow that stripe a bit? I want to use B
for pockets and edge, so need to know before I finish main part of garment. Thanks
for all the lovely patterns and the wonderful giveaways!
R E P LY
Tamara Kelly
January 11, 2018 at 10:28 am
I would recommend making the pockets first, to set that aside and make sure
you have it. It will be cutting it very very close though, so narrowing the stripe
would be a good idea!
R E P LY
jean
Thanks. That was what I was thinking. I was also thinking that if it looked
close I could use both colors on the edging. Make either first or last row
color A (or both)

Hi Tamara,
I’m making this right now, and loving it! Thanks so much for sharing the lovely
design.
I am using a 80/20 acrylic/wool in ‘aran’ weight. Gotta love those folks across the
pond. And it is right on guage for width. I’ve added 2 rows to each stripe to
compensate for my short stitches and cuz I’m 5’11” tall
I’m so excited to be almost finished, because I am looking forward to wearing it!
Thanks so much!

Hi Deborah
I’m about to buy the same kind of yarn 20/80 acrylic/wool Aran.
I’m just wandering did you still use the same size crochet hook that the pattern
says to use.
I get a little confused with hook sizes when I buy a different yarn to the
pattern.
Thank you

I know this is an older pattern, but I’m just now getting around to it. I’m questioning
whether I have done something wrong, especially since I haven’t seen anyone else
mention the armhole border that has corners. I don’t have any corners in my
armholes, did I do something wrong? I sewed 2 pairs of corners at the bottom of the
side seam and the other 2 are on the bottom edge of the front opening.

Hi Jean! I’m not sure what happened there – it’s been so long I don’t know

I don’t have enough wool to change the colours!!
It’s a great pattern too, thanks for sharing

Thank you! You can use all one color if you like. As for the stitches, you can
really use whatever you like I suppose, just aim for the measurements in the
schematic!

What yarn do you recomend? The link says the yarn is discontinued.

Hi Katie! If you want to stick with a wool blend, Caron Cakes would be a good
option. Otherwise, any worsted weight yarn should work!

Deborah
Hi Tamara! First project for Christmas and your pattern is very easy to follow.
About to seam the sides to complete the cardigan look and I’m having a hard time
following the edging. What do ch-1 sp and ch-2 sp mean? This is really cool, thanks
for sharing this so much!
R E P LY
Tamara Kelly
Hi Deborah, and thank you! ch-1 sp is chain one space, and ch-2 space is ch-2
space. This video might help: https://www.mooglyblog.com/working-into-the-
