Cardigan styles to crochet

Granny square jackets, cropped boleros, longline dusters, cocoon shrugs and classic buttoned cardigans, sized for ladies as well as babies and children. Each free PDF sets out the tension, hook size, finished bust measurements and yarn quantities, so you can pick a size with the ease you prefer.

Choosing yarn for a cardigan

  • 4 ply and DK: lighter drape, good for spring and layering; takes longer to make.
  • Aran and chunky: quicker, warmer, better for relaxed oversized shapes.
  • Cotton and cotton blends hold structure; wool blends give more stretch and recovery.
