Easy All DC Cardi Crochet Pattern

The Easy All DC Cardi Crochet Pattern is just that! Easy & all double crochet! There isn’t any sewing, cuffs, or collars. Just a simple, no fuss sweater using a basic, beginner stitch.

For this cardigan, I used Loops & Threads Tweed yarn. I love the look of twee and the subtle textures it adds!

· ch 2 does not count as dc

· This cardigan is made from the top down, raglan style, with turned rows. There is some increasing along the inside (after the split for the sleeves) to create the tapered collar. The sleeves are added at the end in turned rounds with decreases.

· Gauge: 12 dc x 8 rows = 4” x 4”

S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X – The pattern is written in these sizes consecutively. Example, when the pattern gives the ch amount (141, 161, 181, 201, 221, 241) the 141 is for S, 161 is M, 181 is L, 201 is XL, 221 is 2X, 241 is 3X.

This sweater is a classic fit with no positive ease
