Barnside Comfort Cardigan | Crochet Sweater CAL

Pin it before you forget

The Barnside Comfort Crochet Cardigan CAL is a cozy and customizable crochet project, offering both worsted and bulky weight options.

Welcome to the Barnside Comfort Crochet Cardigan CAL!

After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s time to recharge and do something just for YOU. The Barnside Comfort Cardigan is more than just a crochet project; it’s a cozy, comforting hug you create for yourself. Let’s slow down, pick up our hooks, and craft something beautiful together.

We’re thrilled to announce this special collaboration with Debbie of Madame Stitch! Together, we’ve created a cardigan that’s as versatile as it is stylish. What makes this CAL unique? You choose your yarn weight!

Debbie’s version is made using worsted-weight yarn, offering a lightweight yet cozy option. Find her design and the supplies needed HERE.
My version uses bulky weight yarn, perfect for a snug and extra-warm cardigan. Keep reading for my design and the supplies you’ll need.

Both versions are nearly identical, with just a few adjustments for yarn weight. Whether you prefer the classic feel of worsted or the cozy bulkiness of chunky yarn, you’ll end up with a cardigan you’ll love.
