Pattern Description
The Taylor Cardigan has a timeless, gender neutral and simple design which is extremely versatile. Make it in a solid colour or let your imagination go wild. The cardigan is stitched from the top down using the lemon peel stitch (alternating single & double crochet stitches). After the yoke and body are complete, the sleeves are stitched directly onto the cardigan. The ribbing is made from back and front post double crochet stitches. This is a great pattern for beginners and expert crocheters alike.
