Stevee Cardigan by Sincerely Pam

What Is Being Made

The Stevee Cardigan is a beginner-friendly crochet cardigan designed by Sincerely Pam. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a wearable cardigan suitable for children, with the sample shown in Child Small size. The garment features a construction method that builds the cardigan in separate panels before joining them together, making it an accessible project for those new to crochet.

Construction and Techniques

The Stevee Cardigan uses a panel-based construction approach that breaks the project into manageable sections. The pattern begins with the Back Panel, worked from the Neck to the Arm Hole. Following this, the Front Right Panel is created from Neck to Arm Hole, then the Front Left Panel is worked to the same point. Once all three panels are complete, the front panels are connected to the back panel, and the cardigan is then worked in one continuous piece to the desired finished length. This modular approach makes the pattern ideal for beginners, as it allows crafters to work smaller sections before joining and continuing with the body. The pattern also includes optional cuffs and fringe details for customization.

Stitches Used

• Chain (ch) – The foundation stitch used throughout the pattern. The beginning ch1 does not count as a stitch.
• Double Crochet (dc) – A primary stitch in this pattern. Ch3 counts as a dc throughout, and you do not work a dc in the same stitch as the ch3.
• Single Crochet (sc) – Used in the pattern construction.
• Skip (sk) – Technique used to create shaping and stitch placement.

Materials and Tools

Yarn: The Stevee Cardigan is designed for Sport Weight #2 yarn. The sample cardigan shown was made using Wool of the Andes Sport by WeCrochet, demonstrating the yarn choice for the photographed version.

Hook: A J (6.0 mm) crochet hook is required for this pattern.

Additional Tools: A tapestry needle is needed for weaving in ends upon completion of the cardigan.

Pattern Notes

This pattern includes helpful guidelines for successful completion. The beginning ch1 does not count as a stitch throughout the entire pattern, and Ch3 counts as a dc throughout—this is an important distinction for proper stitch counting and garment shaping. The modular panel construction allows for flexibility in customizing the finished length before joining all pieces together.
