Pattern Instructions

Body

1. Begin with a foundation chain of 60 (68, 76, 84, 92, 100, 108, 116) stitches.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, double crochet (dc) across. Turn. (59, 67, 75, 83, 91, 99, 107, 115 dc)
3. Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as first dc), dc in each stitch across. Turn.
4. Row 3: Ch 1, hdc in the first 30 stitches, then switch to sc for the remaining stitches (this creates the textured look). Repeat rows 2 and 3 until body measures 28 inches from the beginning.

Construction

1. Once the body is complete, fold in half (short ends together) to create the sleeves, placing the folded edge at the shoulder.
2. Sew the side seams from the bottom up to the underarm (approximately 10 inches). This creates the armholes.
3. For the collar, attach yarn at the neck and sc around for 2 rows, making sure to lace the stitches loosely to create a soft drape.

Edging

1. At the bottom edge of the cardigan, attach yarn and sc evenly around. Repeat for the sleeve edges, creating a clean finish.

Finishing

Weave in all ends and block the cardigan gently to shape.

Care Instructions

Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry.
