Doireann Duster
ABOUT THIS Design:
Time for something completely different! Well not really. Last winter I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with Hobbii Yarn! Together we made this amazing duster that I am just IN LOVE WITH!
This is the Doireann Duster. Now, first off, how do you even say that? and what is a Doireann? Well, if you’re from Ireland, you’re gonna know, because Doireann is a girls name! And it’s pronounced Dear-in. Is that how you thought it would be said?
But, anyway, This cardigan is an adorable oversized gem! It is the perfect cardigan for snuggling on the couch or running around town. It has an easy construction and great texture. Using the Even Berry Stitch and the Moss Stitch, this cardigan has just the right amount of details to keep it interesting. And, pair the oversized feeling with lantern sleeves, and you have the best possible combination of style and comfort.
The yarn I used on this cardigan is called Tweed Delight, and it was just a dream to work with. It is an 85% wool, 10% acrylic, and 5% viscose yarn. The yarn is gently twined in a roving like style with viscose flecks to create the tweed. And even better, there are a great variety of colors to choose from in this yarn!
I hope you guys enjoy making this duster as much as I did!

Notes:
You will need to crochet a gauge swatch for both the Even Berry Stitch and the Moss Stitch. Be aware that the moss stitch can stretch quite a bit, so making an oversized gauge swatch is a good practice.
The cardigan is crocheted as one piece, starting from the bottom of the back panel up. Then each side panel is crocheted continuously without seaming from the back. After completing the back and both side panels, you will fold both side panels down and seam the sides up from the bottom to the arm holes for the sleeves.
Pay attention to which size hook you should be using in each section as it changes depending on the stitch and part of the cardigan you are creating.
f you want a longer or shorter cardigan, make sure you add the same amount of rows to the back and the side panels. Add or subtract rows in either the Even Berry section or after the neckline shaping in the moss stitch on the front.
Ch1 counts as a st on the Even Berry st. It is sometimes hard to see this ch1 when you get to it, so it might be good to place a stitch marker in it so that you know where your last st of the row is. Also, because the ch1 counts as a st, you will not place your second stitch into the first st of the row below, as the ch1 will “fill” that st. Therefore, the first berry st or sc you make goes into the second st.
