Materials: ( I used )
4mm crochet hook
Light weight/ DK yarn: White Khaki color ( about 300 gr for the sample – size S&M/ 50 gr or 153 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂
This crochet cardigan pattern is made with simple stitches so the ridge lines could show up. I didn’t add buttons to this sample ( just a nice brooch would do ). Surely, you can add buttons as you desire. Check out this post for a suggestion: https://beacrafter.com/crochet-overcast-sweater/
Making a long-sleeved version is not such a task. Simply add more rounds when you crochet sleeves.
Special stitches used:
V stitch: ( dc, ch1, dc ) into same stitch or space.
2dc – V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.
