Cable & Crossed Crochet Cardigan | Premium Crochet Patterns

This crochet cardigan pattern uses 2 of my favourite stitches - the crossed double  crochet and the cable stitch, to create a lightweight but warm crochet cardigan that is perfect to layer over your outfits.


It features a flattering square neckline that will work well with whichever style neckline the top underneath has. From V-neck through to a boat neck, this cardigan's neckline will sit well with it! 


The pattern also features inset sleeves which reduce the bulk under the arms which makes it super comfy to wear. If you've never made an inset sleeve, this is a great project to make them with as there is a detailed, step by step photo tutorial to ensure you are confident in joining the sleeves to the other panels.


This cardigan will be perfect for the cooler days of autumn along with seeing you through the whole of winter! That's the thing I love most about cardigans, you can add a layer without overheating. But, if things do warm up, cardigans are much easier to remove than a sweater!
