How to Make the Cardigan

Now, let's get into the technical part of making this cardigan. Don't worry, though - it's not too complicated! Here's what you'll need:

5 skeins of yarn
A size J crochet hook
A yarn needle

1. First, make a foundation chain of 120 stitches. The chain should be about as long as you want your cardigan to be.

2. Double crochet in the third chain from the hook, and continue double crocheting in each chain until the end of the chain.

3. Chain two, turn your work, and double crochet in each stitch to the end of the row. Repeat this step until you have the length you want.

4. Once you have made the body of the cardigan, it's time to make the sleeves. For the sleeves, make a foundation chain of 40 stitches.

5. Double crochet in the third chain from the hook, and continue double crocheting in each chain until the end of the chain.

6. Chain two, turn your work, and double crochet in each stitch to the end of the row. Repeat this step until the sleeve is as long as you want it to be.

7. Once you have made both sleeves, sew them onto the body of the cardigan.

8. Lastly, add a border around the cardigan and sleeves. You can use any pattern you like, but we recommend a simple single crochet pattern.

Tips & Tricks

Now that you know how to make this lovely cardigan, let's talk about some tips and tricks to make the process even smoother.

Firstly, make sure you choose the right yarn for your cardigan. You will want something that is warm and cozy, yet not too bulky or heavy. Look for a yarn that is labeled as "worsted weight" or "medium weight."

Next, pay attention to your gauge. Crochet tension can vary quite a bit from person to person, so you want to make sure that your stitches are the right size. If your stitches are too loose, you may need to use a smaller hook. If they are too tight, you may need to use a larger hook.

When you are crocheting the body of the cardigan, make sure you try it on frequently. This will help you make sure it fits you well and adjust as needed. You can also add some waist shaping if you'd like a more fitted look.

Last but not least, take your time and enjoy the process! Crocheting can be a relaxing and meditative activity, so don't rush through it. Savor the feeling of creating something beautiful with your own hands.

Now that you know all the tricks of the trade, it's time to get started on your very own cozy cardigan. Happy crocheting!
