This crochet pattern is for a men’s cardigan with a distinctive texture design and high neckline. The cardigan is offset as one side of the body reaches across the neck to fasten. The texture pattern covers all of one side of the front, and is striped up the other side and onto the back. The cardigan has off the shoulder sleeves, with a flat join.

The pattern is designed for sizes from Small to 5XL. There are also tips on customising the sizes to your individual needs. The pattern is colour coded for the different sizes.

I have listed this pattern as “intermediate” because of pattern techniques.
