The Camellia Cardigan is a beautifully textured crochet piece, perfect for those who appreciate both style and comfort. Made with a plush, cozy yarn, this cardigan features a sophisticated, textured stitch pattern that adds depth and visual interest to the fabric.
The design includes roomy front pockets and ribbed cuffs, adding both functionality and a polished finish to the overall look. With its relaxed fit and open front, the Camellia Cardigan drapes effortlessly, making it an ideal layering piece for cool mornings and chilly evenings.
Whether you’re heading out for a casual stroll or settling in for a cozy night at home, this cardigan offers the perfect blend of warmth and style.
Women’s Crochet Cardigan
The Camellia Crochet Cardigan pattern comes with written instructions for women’s sizes XS-5X.
It has approximately 3-4″ of positive ease, making it slightly oversized and very cozy!
The cardigan is worked in 3 long panels, two front panels and a back panel, that are sewn together along the sides and at the top. Then, sleeves and trim are crocheted on to the panels, and optional pockets are sewn on at the end.
This women’s crochet cardigan pattern is rated Intermediate in pattern difficulty, although I have no doubt that an adventurous beginner could create this. It does require some basic knowledge on garment sizing and ease, but the stitches are beginner level.
There is sewing required for this cardigan. If you’re new to sewing crochet pieces together, I have a video on How to Seam Crochet Pieces Like a Pro that I think you will find helpful.

The Yarn
You will need a DK (#3) weight yarn for this crochet cardigan project.
I used Paintbox Simply DK for my sample cardigan. This yarn is 100% acrylic and very cozy and comfortable.
This yarn comes in very large variety of colors from pastels to neutrals to vibrant brights! It’s one of my favorite DK yarns, especially for cozy wearables and blankets!
If you’re looking for a yarn to substitute, I’d recommend the following:
Gloss DK – 70% Merino Wool, 30% Silk – a luxuriously soft yarn perfect for a cardigan!
Brava Recycle – 100% Acrylic, soft and sturdy and very similar to Paintbox Simply DK
Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK – a 100% cotton that is so nice to crochet with and wear!
