Wheat Stitch™ Cardigan Crochet Pattern
The Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Cardigan combines cozy comfort with effortless style into a wardrobe staple you’ll reach for again and again. Designed with my signature Wheat Stitch™ texture, this pattern brings a timeless, handmade touch to your everyday look.
Worked side to side in one piece, this cardigan is as satisfying to make as it is to wear. You’ll begin with the first panel, shape the neckline opening, and complete the second side before seaming them together. Then, crochet each sleeve in the round, decreasing gradually toward the cuff for a flattering, comfortable fit.
With nine inclusive sizes (XS–5X) and numerous opportunities to customize the length, this pattern is ideal for anyone who loves garments that fit perfectly.
Dress it up with your favorite jewelry and jeans for a chic, elevated vibe — or keep it casual for cozy weekends and layering season. Try it in seasonal yarns or neutral tones for a classic look that works year-round.
A video tutorial is included in the pattern.
