Designed by Juliet Rose of Sew.Hooked.Crochet
This oversized patchwork cardigan is beginner-friendly and only requires knowledge of basic crochet stitches. The patchwork style gives it some personality and means you can use up all tHat/beanie spare wool you have lying around!
It's super cosy and can be dressed up and down with the right outfit.
The pattern may look overwhelming because of the colour changes, but because it is only 1 main stitch throughout, it is beginner to intermediate friendly.
ERRATA: The increase rows of the sleeve were not listed as dc flo (were listed as dc only). This has been corrected and the pattern file updated.
