Cute Flare Sleeve Cardigan Crochet Pattern
Summer is wrapping up, and I, for one, couldn't be more excited. Fall means warm soups, cozy blankets, chilly mornings, and an excuse to break out all of my favorite layers. With cooler weather on the brain, this Cute Flare Sleeve Cardigan was conceived. I wanted to create a cardigan that was a little bit different and that would be perfect for the beginning of Fall without being too heavy. Thus, this cardigan has a relaxed, boxy fit with cute, 3/4 length flare sleeves that you can throw over a tank or tee for a little extra warmth, or wear as your main outerwear layer.

"The Retro Cropped Cardi is a vintage-inspired little jacket, designed to keep you feeling warm and looking great! If you've never made a sweater before, do not fear. Easy stitches and shaping make this a great pattern for beginner garment makers. The main stitch is the extended single crochet - and there is a video tutorial for the stitch included below! Prefer a longer, “non-cropped” sweater? Just add more rows to each piece - just remember to add the same number of rows to the back and both fronts! The Retro Cropped Cardigan is just that easy. Do also remember to add that extra length into your side seams, and purchase additional yarn if needed. And if you prefer a different sleeve style, instructions for that are included too!"

The inside ribbing is done at the end! It's mostly double crochet stitches so this pattern works up super quickly for a last minute addition to your wardrobe! The Cropped Cardigan is the perfect accessory in the summer. Great to add for an extra layer in the evening without adding too much. It's a great quick addition for your wardrobe since double crochet stitches are the main stitch used and the fact that this cropped cardigan is half the size of a normal sweater!
