Pattern Notes
- Pattern written in US terms.
- Hexagons will look “ruffled” and not lay flat. This is correct.
- To achieve the cardigan,s striped look, separate the yarn colors by rolling each color from the skein into a smaller ball. Then, use a different color for each round to create a unique cardigan all your own!
- Chain 3 counts as a dc. Optionally use standing dc to attach new yarn.
- Pattern is worked in the joined rounds without unless otherwise indicated. Each round will be worked on the right side.
- Change color: Attach new yarn color with a sl st into nch-2 space as the beginning cluster.
- Create your last cluster in the same ch-2 space as the beginning cluster.
- Keep stitch markers placed in the Row 1 for adding width and length section in the same stitch until after shoulder seaming. The marker designates where the seam will end.
Construction
Overview
- Crochet 2 hexagons for the main body of the cardigan
- Crochet additional rows along three sides: center back, bottom, and center front sides
