Crochet Alpine Cardigan

Slightly cropped 50's style cardigan featuring contrasting cuffs and waistband and crocheted buttons. Lovely feminine stitch pattern gives a stretchy fabric and lots of texture. Pattern is made in sport weight yarn but is written to measurements rather than exact stitch counts, so yarn weight substitutions may be made, and it is adjustable for any body type. Skills required include: front post and back post double crochet, increasing and decreasing, working in rows, spirals, and in the round using the magic loop (to make the buttons).
