Product Description
The Beatrice Cardigan is a raglan sweater worked from the top down and then the sleeves are added when the body is finished. First you will stitch the yoke of the sweater, then separate the sleeves, and continue on to stitch the body rows. When the body rows are complete you will stitch the inside edging. First the left hand side and then the right hand side which will include the button holes. A beautiful picot edging will then be stitched around the collar, down the left hand side of the cardigan, along the bottom of the cardigan and up the right hand inside edge. When stitching the sleeves, you will seam as you go with a slip stitch. Make sure you skip the sl st after you turn at the beginning of each row. I recommend to only chain 1 stitch as it makes the seam almost invisible. If you struggle with this, you can easily stitch the sleeves in rows back and forth and then seam them up at the end.

What is Being Made
The Beatrice Cardigan is a beginner-friendly crochet cardigan designed by The Moule Hole. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a wearable cardigan garment suitable for those new to crochet techniques and construction.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This cardigan employs fundamental crochet construction methods appropriate for beginner-level crafters. The pattern uses straightforward shaping and assembly techniques that build essential crochet skills while producing a finished, wearable garment.
Stitches Used
- Half Double Crochet (hdc) - The primary stitch used throughout the cardigan, forming the main fabric base
- Chain Stitch (ch) - Used for foundation chains and stitch construction
- Puff Stitch - Incorporated for textural detail and visual interest
- Slip Stitch (sl st) - Used for joining rounds and finishing edges
Materials and Tools
The Beatrice Cardigan is worked using DK weight yarn. The designer used Women's Institute Premium Acrylic Yarn in Cream for the sample garment. A 4.5mm (G/7) crochet hook is required to achieve the correct gauge of 16 stitches and 15 rows over a 10cm x 10cm (4 x 4 inch) square in half double crochet. Additional materials include 2 buttons measuring 2cm (0.75 inches) for closure and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing.
Gauge and Fit
Maintaining the correct gauge is essential for proper fit. The pattern specifies 16 stitches and 15 rows should measure 10cm x 10cm (4 x 4 inches) when worked in half double crochet with the recommended hook size.
