This is the reversible Magnolia Cardigan Top pattern. It’s a lightweight crochet cardigan that features a gorgeous lace pattern and a feminine, airy boho look. Wear it as a cardigan or reverse it and wear it as a top with the buttons on your back for a super cute crochet blouse with a low cut back.

The construction is simple, yet looks extraordinary. You crochet two identical body panels and two sleeves using the same easy 4-row repeat made from basic stitches (single, half double, double, and treble crochet). Then you sew them together and add the details. The pattern contains information for easy adjustment of the sleeve length.

Besides the materials listed above, you need 4-5 buttons.

This crochet pattern uses US terms, but you’ll also find an explanation for all abbreviations in UK terms.
