–1 Skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Medium Thyme, Aran, Buff, Warm Brown
–1 Skein of Red Heart With Love in Berry Red
-Size H-5.00mm Crochet Hook. (for larger sizes, I recommend an I-5.50mm Crochet Hook)
-Buttons. (You can get the same buttons as me by clicking here)
-Yarn Needle
-Scissors

NOTES:
-This pattern is in American crochet terms.
-The cardigan that I made measures: Shoulders: 16 inches, Arm Length: 25 inches, Length of sweater: 37 inches
–Recommendation: I would use softer yarn for this project (Caron Simply Soft or Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice). The yarn I used was quite stiff and bulky.

For Larger Sizing:
My recommendations for larger sizes would be to use a larger crochet hook as well as making more rounds on your granny squares. Working a repeat of round 6 once or twice should make your squares larger. You may also make this longer by adding more squares to the length of your cardigan. You could also add a whole panel down the center back (so you would have 5 panels instead of 4) – then decrease accordingly for the collar.

Gauge:
1 square is 6 inches x 6 inches
