Cozy up in casual comfort with this free easy striped crochet cardigan pattern and full video tutorial by Megmade with Love. Designed to be as simple as crocheting basic rectangles, this beginner-friendly make skips increasing and decreasing entirely.
The body is worked flat from the bottom up before splitting off into two front panels and one center back panel. This leaves you with only two quick shoulder seams to join. From there, you work the striped sleeves directly in the round with simple turns after each row. The knee-length cut offers a relaxed, oversized silhouette with plenty of cozy stretch. It covers sizes XS through XL. Using worsted-weight category 4 yarn in two contrasting shades and a 5 mm hook, this pattern makes the ultimate mindless couch project you can crochet without constantly counting stitches. Pick two colors you love, kick back with your favorite show, and crochet this relaxed striped cardigan for an effortless everyday layer!
