This easy crochet cardigan pattern for beginners uses a very simple construction to create a show-stopping look with entry level skills. With the main fronts and backs of this pattern worked in one piece and the sleeves crocheted in the round, you’ll eliminate many of the seams you’d find in a typical sweater.

Instead, you’ll focus your energy on a few specific accent details like a rolled collar and comfy pockets that’ll elevate the entire look of your four-season cotton cardigan.

Advanced beginner skills required, including half double crochet, working in the round and basic seaming.
