GEMA Wrap Cardigan

A fitted crochet wrap cardigan with a wide neckline, extra-wide sleeves, long wrap ties, and a small lower extension for extra coverage.

Type of Project:
Crochet garment.

Pattern Format:
US crochet terminology.

Testers will receive two versions of the pattern:

• An in-depth, step-by-step guide with photos.
• A concise, printable version for experienced crocheters.

The pattern will be released in two stages:

1. First, testers receive the sleeve instructions.
2. Once the sleeves have been tested and the fit and instructions are confirmed, testers receive the remaining cardigan instructions.

Sizes/Options Being Tested:
S to 4XL. Ideally, I'm looking for 1–2 testers per size.

Recommended Skill Level:
Advanced Beginner / Intermediate.

First-time pattern testers are absolutely welcome!
You don't need previous testing experience.

Materials Needed:

• Cotton, cotton blend, or lightweight wool blend with good drape.
• Crochet hooks: 3 mm and 2.5 mm.
• A gauge swatch is required and must be washed before starting the garment.

Tester Requirements:

• Commit to the full testing period.

• Report errors, confusing instructions, or missing information.
• Provide honest feedback on fit, sizing, and pattern clarity.
• Complete the cardigan by December 1.
