Adele crochet top cardigan

The garment can be worn as a loose fit top with a lot of positive ease, or as a cardigan (when its neck opening moved to the back). Its shape is a rectangle composed of square motifs joined together as you work their last round, with neck opening squares unattached.

After the body is finished, fold the whole piece lengthwise and join the pairs of squares together leaving spaces for armholes. Then work several rounds around the main opening and around the armholes to straighten out the edges. All edgings are worked with right side facing.

Yarn: I used an old discontinued cotton yarn of DK weight. Any DK weight cotton blend should work for this pattern as long as you get the gauge.

Size: Instruction provided for one size (adult women’s medium) to be worn with a lot of positive ease. Crochet stitch charts and text instructions included. US terms, measurements given in inches and centimeters.
