Introducing the perfect cropped cardigan pattern, designed with stylish 3/4 sleeves, and crafted all in one piece from the top down. This versatile design allows you to easily adjust the length of both the sleeves and body to suit your personal style. Want a more closed look? Feel free to add extra buttons for a unique touch! While the pattern includes instructions for working the sleeves flat, you can also opt to work them in the round if that’s your preference. This cardigan is also a fantastic choice for summer; consider using a lightweight cotton or linen yarn to keep cool and fashionable.

This pattern is ideal for adventurous beginners who are eager to learn and master new techniques. A solid understanding of top-down raglan construction is essential, as well as comfort with a bit of lacework and picking up stitches for the trim. Additionally, familiarity with basic increases, decreases, and the cable cast-on technique will be beneficial. To achieve the best fit, we recommend choosing a size that allows for approximately 0-2 inches of positive ease, ensuring comfort and style in your finished cardigan.

Whether you’re looking to create a cozy layering piece or a chic summer cardigan, this pattern is perfect for enhancing your knitting skills while producing a beautiful and functional garment. Explore your creativity and start knitting your very own cropped cardigan today!
