Crochet a Flat Cardigan with this Easy Crochet Duster Pattern
Step into winter with a classic style duster, but with stripes. The Striped Shortbread Crochet Duster can be made in three of your favorite colors. What makes a duster different from a cardigan is the length. Dusters first popped up over a century ago and have recently made their way back into the fashion trend. It’s a great addition to an outfit and can add some warmth for the legs against the winter wind chills. Love flat constructions?
