Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn
• Crochet Hook: 6.0 mm (J-10) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by chaining 80 stitches. This will determine the width of your cardigan. You can adjust the number of chains to fit your desired width.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet. Continue to double crochet in each chain across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet). In the next stitch, double crochet again. Now, *chain 1, skip 1 stitch, double crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
4. Repeat Row 2: Continue repeating Row 2 until your piece measures 22 inches from the beginning. This will form the body of the cardigan.
5. Creating the Sleeves: For each sleeve, chain 40 stitches. Then, repeat the pattern from Row 2 for 18 inches. This will create the sleeves of your cardigan.
6. Seaming the Body: Once the body and sleeves are complete, fold the body piece in half. Seam the sides together, leaving enough space for the armholes (approximately 8 inches). You can use a slip stitch or whip stitch for this step.
7. Neckline Border: Attach your yarn at the neckline of the cardigan. Work a single crochet border around the neckline to finish it off neatly.
8. Button Band: Starting at the bottom of the cardigan, attach yarn and work single crochet stitches up to the neckline. As you work, create buttonholes by chaining 2 stitches at intervals where you want your buttons to be placed.
9. Sewing on Buttons: Once the button band is complete, sew buttons onto the opposite side of the button band, aligning them with the buttonholes you created.
10. Finishing Touches: Finish off your work and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your cardigan a polished look.
