Spring is literally around the corner so there’s no better way than to snuggle up in this crochet Roisín [ro-sheen] textured cardigan. It’s designed to be slightly oversized, with loose sleeves and a ribbed hemline.

Crochet cardigan pattern

Materials:

Any weight 4/worsted/aran/10ply yarn

6mm crochet hook

Stitch marker

Measuring tape.

I would recommend 650/700g for size S/M, 750/800g for size L/XL, 850/900g for 2XL/3XL, and 900/950g for 4XL/5XL.

The pattern is worked in 5 separate pieces, the back panel, two front panels and two sleeves.

Sizes:

S-M(L-XL, 2XL-3XL, 4XL-5XL)

Back panel

Ch 9

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across. Turn.

Row 2: ch 1, sc in BLO in each st across. Turn.

Repeat row 2 for a total of 66(72,78,84) rows.

Now working along the long edge of the ribbed hem, ch 1, sc 66(72,78,84) sts across. Turn.

Next row: ch 2(counts as first dc), dc into each st across. Turn

Next row: ch 2, *fpdc around next dc, dc into each of next 2 sts, repeat from * until 2 sts remain, fpdc around next st, dc into last st (on top of ch 2). Turn.

Next row: ch 2, *dc into next st, 2fpdc, repeat from * across until 2 sts remain, dc into each of last 2 sts. Turn.

Repeat last 2 rows until your back panel measures 20-22″ long or whatever length you prefer. Fasten off leaving a long tail.

    You are the best… I was trying to learn crocheting for a very long time… I made my first ever sweater (cabled boyfriend) just because your instructions were so much beginner friendly. Now I’m gonna make this cardigan as my second project. Thank you so much…
    I have a request, can you teach how to crochet pants. I bet your instructions as well as design will rock.
    Stay happy.

      Hi, thank you! I’m wondering what are the measurements for each size, as well as the gauge?

    Great sweater. I did one like this. Then I did it with reversible V. You have to make a longer rib section (up one size). The stitch draws up. But it also looks great using your basic pattern. The V is in repeat of 5. I added one sc in on the sc row to get enough space.

    What if my wool thinner than the one used by you. I mean cal you give a measurement in centi meters also (length and breadth of the back), what should be the length of first piece of the back panel etc

    Hey Carrie! Thank you for this pattern! I do want to say that as a crocheter with a loose gauge I had some craziness happen with the sleeves (following the small/medium stitch count). I ended up doing the stitch count for the large in the back and front panels since I am a bit more busty but my arms are short and stubby so I kept in the S/M. Even using a 4 mm crochet hook to try to get gauge, my sleeves ended up way too long (3-4 inches) and loose (esp. in the cuff). I went back step by step through the tutorial to see what I did wrong, and I think pairing the L bodice with the S/M was a big part of it as I think the shoulder drops down quite a bit more. I would definitely caution anyone against pairing sizes. Also, I still think I was off gauge in the end. I will do some tailoring/tucking on the cuff and hopefully that will help! I would definitely recommend anyone to measure throughout as well to make sure that the size meets their specific dimensions. Overall learned a lot and think this will still turn out to be a beautiful cardigan!!

    I have a question about the number of chains for the back panel. Is it supposed to be more than 9? It seems like it should be much more.
    Thank you

      The Ch9 is for the bottom ribbing of the back panel, then you’ll stitch along the side of it. A few rows below the Ch9, right before the bold that says Next row:, you’ll turn your work 90 degrees and single crochet along the side then work the back panel from the bottom up. The same method will be used later for the single panel.

    Hi, not quite sure how to describe the problem I’m having, should the stitch count not be 66 for the back panel for the S/M? Whenever I make sure that’s what I have, the waffle part if off by one and honestly I can’t tell why from the pattern. Unclear how the “ch2” fits in, do you have like real stitch counts that aren’t that? Thanks!
