About This Pattern

This beginner-friendly crochet tutorial teaches how to make a top-down raglan cardigan. The pattern uses a wool blend yarn in two colors, incorporating color changes to create stripes. It features a seamless construction achieved by joining the armhole corners and is worked flat with increases at the beginning and end of rows. The tutorial explains every stitch and step in detail, including how to create chains and double crochet stitches, and how to place stitch markers for shaping. The pattern is customizable in size by adjusting the number of rows until the armhole corners meet under the armpit. A written version of the pattern is also available for support.
