Cherry Relief 🍒

A cherry-colored cardigan with pronounced relief (textured) ridges combines a cozy texture with the gathered silhouette of a cropped jacket. Long sleeves, a slightly raised small collar and three large buttons give it character. The deep burgundy color nicely emphasizes the volume of the pattern. The fabric appears fairly even, however the lower edges of the fronts differ slightly in shape; fit and symmetry should be checked after wet-heat finishing (blocking). The varied button shades add individuality, although they make the closure look less cohesive. Hourly rate: 360 RUB/hour Time to make: 32 hours Suggested price: 11,520 RUB

Article Creation Wizard

By the character of the texture, the piece was most likely crocheted using a relief (textured) stitch. Long raised ridges resemble a combination of front and back post relief stitches with yarnovers. The exact repeat cannot be determined without close-up photos; the description below is a likely working principle, not a reconstructed chart. The back and fronts can be worked in rows (turning rows), maintaining the placement of the relief stripes. Armholes and shoulder slopes are shaped by decreases according to the pattern. Sleeves are worked separately with gradual increases, then joined to the body. The joining method and the construction of the sleeve cap are not visible from this angle. Lower sections and cuffs appear denser. Front edges are reinforced with an edging, leaving buttonholes sized for the buttons. The low collar is worked along the neckline with attention to gauge so the edge does not flare. Finish by weaving in ends and gentle blocking to final measurements. Do not press the relief flat with an iron to preserve its volume.

Materials

• Burgundy yarn of medium to heavier weight, visually slightly fuzzy. Exact fiber content cannot be determined from the photo; wool or wool-blend yarn is possible.
• Estimated yarn usage: 650–950 g for an adult cropped cardigan; depends on size, yarn meterage and texture gauge.
• Three large decorative buttons in brown-beige shades; material cannot be reliably identified from the image.
• Crochet hook approximately size 4–6 (mm), chosen to match the swatch; exact size unknown.
• Tapestry needle, stitch markers, scissors, measuring tape.

Until the fiber content is confirmed, choose a gentle hand wash at up to 30 °C with a wool-safe detergent. Test colorfastness of the burgundy dye first and wash separately the first time. Do not rub the texture, do not wring and do not leave submerged for long. Gently press out water between towels, then dry flat, shaping fronts, collar and sleeves to measurements. Do not dry on hangers or radiators. Do not press the texture with an iron; if steaming is acceptable, test on a swatch considering the yarn composition. Store folded.
