Velvet is everywhere you look right now. I’ve seen gorgeous velvet cardigans at Target, TJ Maxx, in the mall… all over the place. If there’s one thing I know, making your own cardigans is way more fulfilling than buying a velvet cardigan off the rack at big box stores – and can be cheaper, too!

Velvet Cardi Crochet Pattern

Every time I see Bernat Velvet yarn I think how lovely it would be in cardigan form. This new Velvet Cardi is a dream to wear and fun to crochet, too! I absolutely love how the curved edge in the front adds to the feminine vibe. Trust me, you’ll want to live in this thing.

Right now I am wearing a 12/14 US in most clothes. The green pictured here (Frosted Pine colorway) is the LARGE size and the yellow (Soft Sunshine colorway) is the XL size. Both are super comfy for my size! My testers have noted that all of the other sizes run true as well.

The child sizes of this pattern are free right here on Heart Hook Home! Find the Little Kids patterns (up to 2/3T) HERE and find the Big Kids patterns (4/6 – 10/12) HERE.

Find the adult version of this pattern on Ravelry, Etsy, or in the Heart Hook Home shop

For this pattern you will need surprising little yarn – considering these skeins are ginormous. If you would like to substitute for a more easily washed/cared for yarn, I suggest either Red Heart Hygge (pictured below in Slate Blue) or Bernat Softee Chunky would also work great! You could also use Caron Latte Cakes or Red Heart With Love Chunky.

Pattern Notes:

The chain at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.

Fhdc = Foundation Half Double Crochet (tutorial)

The body is worked in vertical rows.

Keep your tension on the tight side, especially on the decreases.

Leave longer yarn tails than normal to fully weave in ends.

Pattern written using US terms.

Of course you can work up the free child size pattern first to get your feet wet, but I would consider this to be a beginner-friendly pattern. Especially when paired with the video tutorial!

    I'd love to try to make this cardi for 2 "tween" girls. I think that the 10/12 would be too small, but do you think that the women's small would be too big? They're about average for their ages in size, maybe a little taller. I don't know.... I can't really get to them to measure. Thank you!!

    Hello Ashlea, I purchased the women’s Velvet Cardi pattern today. I love the pattern and have made the children’s size cardi but with spring coming is it possible to also purchase the Women’s Velvet Cardi pattern using worsted weight yarn? I’m not talented enough to do the coversion myself. I’d be happy to pay for the conversion. Yhank you, Sally Bollinger

    Hi...simply love this pattern, I have made one and I would like to make one with red heart with love but im not sure what hook to use. I made a gauge swatch and it came out perfectly, but after about 40 rows its at least 3" shy of what it should be.

    How many skeins of yarn are needed for the toddler size on the tutorial video? How do I get the other child size patterns?

      She just posted the little kid sizes the other day here: https://hearthookhome.com/velvet-cardi-free-crochet-pattern-little-kids/. The yardage is listed as -approx. 260 yards for 12M -approx. 275 yards for 18/24M -approx. 330 yards for 2/3T I think she has not finished the big kid sizes yet, otherwise they'd be posted as well.
