This romantic cropped cardigan in Tunisian crochet is worked top-down flat, while the short sleeves are worked in the round, using basic Tunisian stitches. The sinuous, “leafy” spades’ design is worked on both main body and sleeves of the cardigan. At the bottom of both cardigan and sleeves there is a classic 4x3 ribbing to be added as finishing. The sleeves are short-ish raglan sleeves.

This pattern is easy to follow, thanks to the many links to my video tutorials explaining stitches and techniques. It uses basic Tunisian crochet stitches (tss, tks, tps).
