Crocheted Icelandic style cardigan?

[SilverDragon]

At the post office a few days ago I saw a little girl wearing a cardigan that had a multicoloured yoke, like an icelandic sweater. But, it was crocheted!!

 

Anyone know of a kids pattern like this? It also had patch pockets on each front panel. The proud momma took my name and number to ask her SIL which pattern it was, but I haven't heard from her.

 

Anyone have suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Jacqueline

Hi! I have a book at home that has a pattern similar to that. I don't think it has pockets, but they could be easily added. I will have to dig out the book and let you know the title.

And i think Bernat has one.

Bumpity Bump...Anyone else have a suggestion? I have given up hope that the nice lady will ever call me about it now....

My mother knits those all the time... I can get you the knitted pattern.

 

 

Are you only looking for a crochet one?? I would look for "Fair Isle" or "tapestry" crochet... I think I have seen some patterns before... I will keep a look out (I've been doing the same because I like crochet better than knit)....

 

Let know know if you want the knit pattern

Carol Ventura has many books on tapestry crochet. This is her website. At the bottom of the page there is an email address where you can ask her this question.

Oh! Oh! I know where one is. There's a crocheted "Icelandic Jacket" - with patch pockets - in Adorable Crochet for Babies and Toddlers. I have this book. I really like it.

Thanks for these suggestions! The sweater I saw was not tapestry, just regular looking crochet. I know there are countless knit patterns like it, but I liked this one because it was crochet, and because that gave it a different look that I liked, even though I normally prefer to knit.

I own that book, too! I also haven't made anything from it The Icelandic-type cardigans in it look just like the knit versions. Maybe you can get a copy from your local library.
