Step by step Pattern (Summary)
Create the Wrist Cuffs
- Use a slip knot to start.
- Chain 12, which determines the length of the cuffs.
- Skip the first chain, then do single crochets in each remaining chain, making 11 single crochets in total for the first row.
- Chain 1 and turn your project.
- Make single crochet back loops in each row stitch until the desired cuff length is achieved (22 rows were made in your example, creating a cuff 8.5 cm by 19.5 cm long).
Construct the Sleeves
- Join the two sides of the cuff together with single crochets.
- Then, do 3 rounds of single crochets around the top of the cuff.
- Start the granny square pattern from this point, creating clusters of 3 double crochets per stitch.
- Follow the granny square stitch pattern until the sleeve has reached the desired length (in your example, from the beginning of the granny square pattern you created 26 rounds for a total of 53 cm).
- Finish off by doing single crochets and slip stitches around the bottom of the sleeve to prevent it from stretching.
Create the Squares for the Cardigan Body
- For the back of the cardigan, crochet a Granny square that measures half of your bust measurement (for your cardigan, this was 50cm X 50cm).
- For the front of the cardigan, crochet 4 smaller squares – in your example, these were 24cm X 24cm.
Assemble the Cardigan
- Join the squares for the front as per the desired design.
- Attach the assembled front squares to the back square.
- Sew the tops of the granny squares to create the shoulders.
- Sew the attached squares to the sleeves, taking care to align stitches.
- Finally, using the same yarn, sew up the sides of the cardigan to finish your project.
