The Charlie Cardigan is a beginner-friendly crochet cardigan featuring gentle shaping at the shoulders and neck, along with subtle sleeve increases for a flawless fit. Its simplicity lies in the clever use of rectangles, transforming basic stitches into a cozy, stylish cardigan. Most of the cardigan is composed of flat pieces, making it accessible for beginner crocheters. Experience the joy of crocheting your own stylish and warm layer of comfort with this cardigan.

The back, both fronts, and both sleeves are worked flat, back and forth in rows, from bottom to top. Each piece starts with single crochet back loop only ribbing before working the piece. After seaming all the pieces together, work the button band and collar in short rows around the cardigan front directly.
