I love this cardigan and it’s slouchy, over-sized look. It can serve as a sweater or a jacket, and has a lovely drape in the back. It is very easy to make and has only two short seams.

Thank you for checking out my crocheted cardigan pattern.

This crochet pattern is listed as EASY, and is suitable for a CONFIDENT BEGINNER. It uses standard US English crochet terminology. It has been tested for clarity and accuracy by a professional crochet designer. In addition, it contains step-by-step how-to photos. I am confident this pattern will make for a happy crochet experience (and a very nice cardigan).

This cardigan is basically ONE-SIZE-FITS-MOST, but I do provide a gauge and some simple guidelines for adjusting the size. Guidelines do not include altering stitch counts.
