We are going to learn How to Crochet Simple Crochet Cardigan Pattern. Beginner and more experienced crocheters alike will find something to love in this compilation of free crochet patterns. Whether you make sweater or a cardigan, you can’t go wrong with this adorable design. Learn step by step how to make this basic project.
Why should you crochet your own Sweater ? Because you can! You can buy them of course, but cardigans are not cheap. I spent over $60 on the last one that I bought, which makes DIY crocheted cardigans a much better choice for me.
Length: 55cm / 21.5 inches. Width of body: 63cm / 25 inches. Sleeve length: 58cm / 23 inches. Sleeve circumference: 36cm / 14 inches.
Each square is 18 stitches by 13 rows. To size up or down, it’s about 1 row and 2 stitches per cm (just under half an inch) so add or subtract that amount to change the sizes.
The button band is a starter of 9ch and is worked onto the cardigan directly using an interesting technique that should be part of every crocheter’s repertoire. Rather than me type out an explanation, I suggest you watch the video below.
You can wear this sweater by itself when the weather is mild or layer it over a shirt once the temperature really starts to drop. This easy crochet sweater can be worked up in no time and it will quickly become a wardrobe staple. Kick off fall in style with this comfortable and trendy Crochet Cardigan Sweater.
You don’t have to shape at the neck like. But if you find it terribly flattering and can’t live without it, once you hit the last/top squares at the neck, it’s a simple matter of one decrease per row. I say “simple”, If you don’t fancy a decrease on the animal print colour work, or the hounds tooth square. Change them to a plain htr. It might save your last semblance of sanity.
