Jethro Cardigan- Crochet Pattern

Clean lines, modern vibes — and yep, I’ve already got the pattern in my stash.

Okay, let’s talk about Jethro — the crochet sweater that’s been living rent-free in my Ravelry queue (and my imagination) since I first laid eyes on it. Designed by the always-stylish Tanis Lavallee, this pullover is the definition of minimalist cool. Think straight lines, oversized coziness, and that effortless “I just threw this on” look — but make it handmade.

Confession: I haven’t actually made it yet — but I did buy the pattern (how could I not?), and I’ve been low-key planning my yarn choice ever since.

The design is clean, modern, and unisex — which I love. It’s one of those pieces that looks good on literally everyone, and the styling options are endless. You can go sleek in neutrals or make a bold statement in mustard, rust, or deep navy. Either way, it’s going to be one of those sweaters that gets worn on repeat.

The pattern itself is beautifully presented — no surprise there. DeBrosse’s patterns are always clear, minimalistic, and professional. There are detailed written instructions, sizing from XS to 3XL, and helpful progress notes. Even though I haven’t started stitching yet, I’ve read through it (twice — okay, maybe three times), and it feels totally doable, even for a semi-confident garment maker like me.

Why It’s On My Hooking Radar

This is the kind of sweater you want to take your time with — not just whip up in a weekend. I can already picture cozy evenings, a cup of tea, and that soothing rhythm of single crochets building row by row.

Plus, it’s worked flat in panels (yay for mindless rows), and then seamed — which makes it less intimidating than it looks. I’m leaning toward a soft cotton blend for breathability, but the original wool-blend version has me swooning too.
