I am Cristina, the knitting and crochet designer behind crisdvic. I live in a beautiful town near Barcelona, where I have my workspace and dedicate myself to a hobby that began in my childhood. I enjoy slow and mindful handicraft work, quick and simple projects, but also challenges.
My inspiration may come from everywhere, but it usually starts from a skein of yarn, a color, and the “someone” (even myself) intended to wear or use the finished craft. I like to mix textures and colors, but usually keeping a soft, relaxing look.
I believe that slow and mindful handicraft work can be a powerful tool for self-expression and stress relief, and I strive to share that joy with you.
Ready for a challenge? Let’s have some fun trying a bottom-up bias construction together with a colorwork mosaic pattern. The charted instructions, together with the written pattern will make an enjoyable and straightforward knit.

The Sadie Wide Neck Sweater is a beautifully relaxed piece designed for comfort and style. With its loose V-neck and versatile neckline, it can be worn draped on the edges of the shoulders for a laid-back, off-the-shoulder look, or pulled up for extra warmth and coverage when needed. This unique sweater offers the perfect balance of ease and structure, making it a go-to for casual or dressier occasions.
The construction of the sweater is symmetrical, with the same cable pattern worked on both the front and back, creating visual interest and texture. The cable detail flows along the sides and down the center of the sweater, splitting in half to shape the V-neck, adding depth and sophistication to the design. The relaxed fit ensures comfort while still maintaining a flattering shape, perfect for layering or wearing on its own.
This sweater is ideal for transitioning through seasons, as it’s light enough for warmer days but cozy enough to provide warmth when the temperature drops. Pair it with jeans, skirts, or leggings to create an effortlessly stylish outfit that works for a variety of settings.
