Prepare to wrap yourself in all the best feelings of autumn coziness with our oversized crochet patchwork cardigan pattern. This stylish and comfortable cardigan boasts big sleeves and pockets large enough to carry everything you need for a nature stroll, making it the perfect companion for crisp fall days and chilly evenings.

Inspired by the rich and earthy hues of the autumn season, this patchwork cardigan is made up of colorful Virkadia Squares and our own unique ribbing technique, both original designs by Virkadia!

The plush density of each square makes this cardigan perfect for keeping out the bitter breeze of approaching winter months, and will keep you feeling warm and cozy even when the snow starts to fall.

Supplies:

  • Crochet hook (refer to pattern for required hook size)
  • Medium weight yarn in 10 colors (refer to pattern for required yardages)
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors
  • Stitch Markers (optional)

Terminology:

This pattern uses English / US terminology:

  • st (sts) = stitch (stitches)
  • ch = chain stitch
  • sl st = slip stitch
  • sc = single crochet
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • dc3tog = double crochet 3 together (over the span of 3 stitches)

Please note that this pattern is written so that each crochet stitch abbreviation is attached to a number, such as 1sc, 2sc, etc. This number denotes how many of that stitch is to be worked into the same stitch.

In other words, 1sc = one single crochet, whereas 2sc = two single crochet worked into one stitch, also known as an increase.
