How to Crochet a Light Pink Cardigan

You'll Need:

About 1050 (1150) g of 100% Merino yarn (160m/50g) of light-pink color;

Crochet hook 4;

Silver fastener.

Size:

S (M).

Wavy Pattern:

The quantity of stitches is multiplied by 12 + 1. Crochet according to the scheme. Start with stitches before the pattern repeat, crochet the pattern repeat, and finish with stitches after the pattern repeat.

Stitches Control:

19 stitches x 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Note!

Make back and front parts as a one-piece cloth.

Instructions

Make 169 chain stitches + 4 chain stitches increase, then continue with the wavy pattern.

After 50 (52) cm from the set-up row, crochet 55 (52) cm with the wavy pattern from the wrong side, leave the next 19 cm = 36 stitches (22 cm = 42 stitches) for the armholes, make 36 (42) chain stitches, and finish the row.

Continue on all the stitches (back). After 18 (20) cm from the armhole, you are in the middle of the back. Make the second part symmetrically to the first one and finish your work.

Sleeves

Make 49 (61) chain stitches + 3 chain stitches increase and crochet 14 cm with the wavy pattern. Make increases for sleeve chamfers at this level from both sides - 1 stitch x 12 in every wrong-side row, including the increased stitches in the pattern = 73 (85) stitches.

Finish your work at 52 cm height from the set-up row.

Assembly

Make sleeve seams and sew them. Fasten your cardigan along the upper and bottom parts with 1 row of single crochet and 1 row of "shrimp stitch" to maintain its shape.
