Designed to fit just right, this lightly textured, beautifully structured cardigan is a garment you’ll reach for again and again.

The Petal Loop Stitch Crochet Cardigan is worked top-down in a seamless raglan construction, making it easy to customize and try on as you go. The stunning Petal Loop Stitch texture shines as you shape the yoke with increases at four raglan points, building the sleeves, front panels, and back all at once.

Once the yoke reaches your desired depth, the sleeve stitches are set aside, and the body is continued flat in rows, ending with a simple ribbed edge for a clean, finished look. The sleeves are then worked in the round directly from the arm openings, tapering gently toward the cuffs, and finished with matching ribbing. To complete the look, a button band is added along the front with evenly spaced buttonholes for a polished finish.

A video tutorial is included.
