The bomber cardigan is the perfect blend of comfort and cool — inspired by the bomber jacket, but with the softness and handmade beauty of crochet. Its slouchy fit, bold sleeves, and ribbed edges make it a modern must-have. Whether you’re heading out or lounging in, this cardigan turns heads and hugs you in warmth.
📋 Materials Needed:
- Bulky or chunky yarn (for a thick, plush look)
- Crochet hook (6.5mm–8mm, depending on yarn)
- Yarn needle
- Stitch markers
- Measuring tape
- Scissors
- 1 zipper or statement buttons (optional for front closure)
- (Optional) Elastic or ribbing for cuffs and hem if you want extra stretch
📝 Helpful Notes:
- Use stitches that create a chunky texture:
- Half double crochet (hdc)
- Double crochet (dc)
- Slip stitch ribbing for cuffs, waistband, and collar
- Construct your cardigan in panels:
- Back
- Front panels (left & right)
- Two balloon-style sleeves
- Sew everything together and add the collar and cuffs last.
- For a classic bomber look, make the waistband snug and the body oversized.
- Consider adding a zipper or big buttons for closure — or leave it open for a casual vibe.
