Oversized Bimini Cardi - Crochet Along
Week 2 - Part 1
Welcome to Week 2, where we will begin our 1st section of the Oversized Bimini Crochet Along. This week we will be working on HALF of the body. The pattern is really easy & works up Super Quick! So let's dive in...
Inspiration
The inspiration for my entire Bimini Collection comes from The Bimini Road. In case you have never heard of it, it is a REAL road found underwater that is "Supposedly" the road that leads into Atlantis. If you notice the collar details on the Oversized Bimini Cardi, you will see how the design resembles the layout of the road.
About the Pattern
This pattern is designed to be as easy as possible for you to make. No sewing involved & it is worked from the bottom up. Provided below are picture tutorials & a YouTube Video for all who are visual learners. This pattern is pretty simple & easy to achive, using Only Double Crochet & sets of Chains to make up the Entire Body of the Cardigan. Throughout the next 3 weeks, this pattern will also provide information for you to customize your Cardigan in Length, Width, & Collar length preference, So you can make it truly your own.
Does that sound fun? Are you as excited as I am? Awesome, lets get started!!
