Okay, okay, so I just had to design another cardigan. In my head this cardigan was a shorter, Bomber Jacket style cardigan that would flatter any body type and I think this is a success!

Bombshell Bomber Cardi

I decided to call this the Bombshell Bomber Cardi because it makes me feel just that – like a bombshell. Any cardigan that can pull that feeling off is a winner in my book! I hope you love this new cardigan design as much as I do! For this pattern we are using Red Heart Soft yarn, which has an excellent feel, a nice sheen, and makes for a nice, sturdy design.

This cardigan is meant to be on the small side, so that when you zip it up it allllmost feels too tight. I personally will never wear it zipped up entirely, instead I plan to leave it a bit unzipped – if I zip it at all. I just love the look of the zipper on this one, I think it gives it that finished, high end feel. Although it looks fine without a zipper also, I think you’ll prefer it too!

If you want a classier look, check out this version with just one single button at the top. So chic, so classy, and not too tight around the middle. Perfection!

Get this pattern on Ravelry, Etsy, or in the Heart Hook Home store!

It is perfectly fine for you to sell items made from my patterns, including this pattern. All that I ask is that you link back to this post on Heart Hook Home when selling or listing the item made from this pattern, and giving credit where credit is due.  If you do decide to sell what you make using any of my patterns, make sure you are charging enough! Here is a helpful guide on pricing handmade items, and here are my terms of use.

If you need help on adding the zipper you can find a written tutorial with great photos AND video tutorial for that here. If you are using a zipper with metal teeth like I did, and you need to shorten the zipper to the correct length, I have a brand new tutorial for that as well!

How to Shorten a Zipper with Metal Teeth

Materials:

Crochet hook in size J/6mm
Red Heart Soft Yarn (size 4/Aran/worsted weight)
Zipper (optional, at least 18”long)

This pattern is available in seven sizes:

Small – approx. 650 yards
Medium – approx. 700 yards
Large – approx. 1000 yards
XL – approx. 1150 yards
2XL – approx. 1300 yards

Get this pattern on Ravelry! ~thank you!

Picking your Size:

There is a sizing chart included in the pattern. You will want to measure your bust and compare to the chart to determine your size. As a side note, please make sure to measure wearing the bra you wish to wear with the cardigan. It may sound silly, but this made a huge difference in the several that I have made, and for my testers as well. 😉

    I just got some Touch of Alpaca from Lion Brand on sale. Do you think the Bombshell Bomber would work in this yarn? Thanks.

    I have tried twice to download this—once yesterday and then again today. It keeps telling me I have to pay for it. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

    Hi Ashlea. Thank you for this offer. I'm having trouble downloading the free pattern. I had to change my chrome setting so it would download and tried the code a second time, but now ravelry wants me to pay $6.00, after I entered the code again. What should I do? Thank you so much for any advice. Linda

    Hi Ashley! My problem is that I never know what is a reasonable amount to charge per hour is. Sometimes a situation comes that I donate the supplies but I'm stumped after that, and as you have mentioned, I do not want to undervalue the work I will put into it! I often end up having them supply the supplies and I will donate the work. Another way to get your work and talent known out there is to make an item such as a beautiful afghan is to donate one (materials and work) to a fundraiser where they will sell raffel tickets for it. I do that every year, if I can afford it, for a children's hospital and it has pulled in quite a lot of money for them doing it that way!

      Hi Charmaine! You can use a DK weight, just go down a hook size and up a pattern size. Hope this helps!
