Patchwork Hooded Cardigan

I am not going to lie to you, this is a big project. At 21 pages this may be the longest pattern I have ever or will ever write, BUT, there is nothing complex in there, just lots to do. This crochet pattern is for a menswear cardigan, made to display patchwork and multicolours. The construction is in stages - Bodywork - Button and Button Hole bands - Hood, Collar or Both - Sleeves The front and back are made of four pieces sewn together. The collar/hood is made of crochet squares, and there are written instructions and a diagram for this. There are instructions for an optional inner hood as well. Sleeves are made separately and sewn on. Sleeves taper to a nice fit around the wrist. There is a photographic guide on all elements of the design, especially focusing on any special construction. Special Stitches are clearly described. There is a lot of stretch in the finished item, so the sizing is only approximate. I have listed this pattern as "intermediate" because of pattern techniques.
