Robin ’s cardi shows how well this pattern works with self striping yarn 👏🧶💚

She used Caron cakes in Pistachio and I Love This Yarn in Dark Olive for this self striping beauty! Thank you so much Robin 💚👏💚

The continuous granny stripe design creates flattering vertical lines, giving the cardigan a sleek, elongating silhouette while beautifully showcasing colour changes.

Introducing the Granny Stripes Flexi Hexi Longline Cardi, a fresh take on the much-loved hexagon cardigan! This design reimagines the traditional hexi construction by starting with an extended hexagon shape, creating an elongated silhouette that allows each half of the cardigan to be crocheted continuously from start to finish, with no additional lengthening rows required.

This no-sew pattern is designed for crocheters who love a smooth, uninterrupted construction process. With four length options and five sizes, you can customise your cardigan to suit your style, whether you prefer a trendy cropped look or a dramatic longline silhouette.

The pattern is intermediate-friendly, but has been carefully written to be easy to follow, complete with a detailed chart, step-by-step photo tutorial, and plenty of images to guide you through every stage.

If you’re looking for a stylish yet straightforward project, this is the perfect cardi to add to your handmade wardrobe.

I want to show off more of my amazing tester’s work - here is Satya using Red Heart Soft in the following colours for her Rainbows Through the Grey Blanket:

MC – Off White
CC1 – Turquoise
CC2 – Teal
CC3 – Royal Blue
CC4 – Navy
CC5 – Royal Blue
CC6 – Teal
CC7 – Turquoise

The Rainbows Through the Grey Blanket Pattern is now available as a PDF download in my Etsy shop, LoveCrafts, Ravelry and now on Wool Warehouse!!

🌈 A lovely rainbow blanket that’s not just for children! Made in a large adult size, perfect for cosying up in comfort on grey days.

It uses chunky yarn, so it works up quickly and is very satisfying to make despite its size. Large enough to use as a sofa throw or an adult bed blanket, it’s both practical and cosy, combining a tasteful, plain base with pops of colour and texture to keep things interesting. 🌈

I do love seeing the different yarns from all over the world, this is Di from Australia, she has used 4 balls of Aran & Eve by in colour: Whisk and 2 balls of a mauve/purple variegated mill end yarn.

can you spot Di’s photo bomber in the background? Love it! Thank you so much, Di. I’m glad you enjoyed it X 🦅

This design uses both DK and Aran weight yarns. The thicker Aran yarn is especially effective at concealing the carried yarn, keeping the finish neat and polished. The bobble stitch creates a soft, tactile fabric with loads of texture and personality. It’s a perfect showcase for the magic of colour-changing yarn in a fun, modern design.
