Description
Create a cosy cardigan for little ones featuring a generous shawl collar and clever, simple construction.
The back is crocheted as a rectangle, with an armhole row forming the sleeve openings. The fronts and shawl collar are then worked around three sides of the back piece. With seams only along the sleeves, this clever construction keeps finishing to a minimum.
The cardigan is worked flat using DK or light worsted-weight yarn and a 5.5mm crochet hook. The design is intended to have approximately 5cm of ease, and you can work to your preferred gauge using your chosen yarn and hook.
