"This lightweight cardigan includes 3 sleeve options and is sure to be a wardrobe staple. The beginner-friendly pattern includes sizes XS-5X and is worked top-down, which means you can try it on as you go. There's also no seaming needed! What I love about this cardigan is the eyelet design encasing it. It works up fast and easy. This is a fabulous beginner crochet cardigan, even if you haven't made any garments before. I've included pictures and a couple of videos for dividing the body and sleeves."

Olive This Cardigan
Looking for a cute and stylish oversized cardigan for this fall? Well look no further! The Olive This Cardigan is the perfect match for all your needs. This cardigan is made using the Floret Stitch, which creates the perfect amount of texture for this garment. The design is worked from side to side, and the front panels are folded down so that the shoulders can be seamed. Then, the sleeves are worked directly onto the cardigan. This method means there are fewer seams! So, if you hate seaming as much as I do, this is definitely the cardigan for you! Worked up with weight 4 yarn and a 5mm hook for the majority of the garment, this cardigan virtually flies off your hook. You'll have this beauty done in no time at all. And, with how quick it works up, you'll be able to make them for gifts, too!
Seaglass Summer Cardi
The Seaglass Summer Cardi is a simple beach or swimsuit cover-up - that is just as beautiful back on solid land! When I began designing the Seaglass Summer Cardi, I was thinking exclusively in terms of a swimsuit coverup. But by the time it was done, I knew I wanted to wear it everywhere! It's still great for the pool though - even after I soaked it, it dried super fast! The Seaglass Summer Cardi is truly one size fits all. It fits up to a 68” bust - and stretches too! Made with just 2 cakes of Red Heart It's a Wrap Rainbow, it's simple enough to be your first garment if you haven't made one before!
Retro Cropped Cardi Free Crochet Pattern
"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!"
