If you follow the link it will take you to a page with a visit button, click that and it will come up with a paragraph that starts wit 'instructions', at the bottom is a purple sentence so click that ans it will come up wit a list of items, so scroll through till you find the cardi- there are lots of pages so you can keep clicking till you find it but i only had time to do a couple of pages which it wasn't on - should be there somewhere ?

I'm new to crochet and Pinterest but I found this on it. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/546131892283255097/
The problem is I don't know how to get the pattern.
Any ideas please - I need something to occupy my time in self isolation!
Thanks.

Ooh that’s pretty, I clicked on it but it took me round the houses and never did get to the pattern

I haven't been able to get to it either and I REALLY want to do it.
I'll have another go. I've tried to find something similar and can't find anything but if I do i'll post it on here.

I did that too yesterday and couldn't find it.None of the others were as good but I think I'm going to have to look again and see if I can get something else.

If we all do the pattern we will not need an MHF sticker, we will all be wearing the same cardigan ?

SueTayBon can you advise?

Sorry I don't use Pinterest

So it looks like the original one is out of print. Having a quick look through Crochet lacy cardigans on Ravelry throws up quite a few similar ones. Is this one close enough?

20-12 Lacy Cardigan pattern by Pierrot (Gosyo Co., Ltd)

Japanese version available here. Both English and Japanese versions are fully charted using standard knitting and/or crochet symbols.

Yes. It is. Thanks.
Do you think I could do it as I'm an almost total beginner?
This is the yarn Pierrot Yarns Silk100 Bouclé Fingering Do you think there's an equivalent I could get because I've just had a quick search and can only find one in yen. Looks expensive too.

I am fair-to-middling as it goes, and it lovely that we can all keep up the virtual conversation. ??‍

It might not be suitable for a beginner! Fingering weight yarn is usually similar to 4 ply.

I will keep looking - not much else to do ?

Thanks. I was thinking it looked a bit complicated for me.

Just seen a trailer on BBC for new series of The Great British Sewing Bee. Yay!!!!! Some decent TV at last. Just said starting soon.

This one looks to be quite easy. It is done on a 4mm hook so probably double knitting weight but do a sample swatch.

Thanks. That must have been hard work.
Do you think a beginner like me could do it? Iscoton yarn always the same ply so I could get anyone's?

Just check your tension. You can always make to a size bigger or smaller on the pattern if you need to.
