Are Any Special Stitches Or Techniques Required?
For this kid’s cardigan crochet pattern, you need to know basic crochet techniques and shell stitches. The cardigan is done from the top down.
You start by working rows of double crochets to create the yoke section that divides into fronts, back, and sleeves. Then you move on to work the lower part of the cardiagn with shells.
What Yarn Weight Is Recommended For This Pattern?
If you want your crochet flower cardigan to be perfectly sized, use the materials recommended by the designer.
The pattern calls for sport weight yarn, such as Schachenmayr Catania Solids, and a 3 mm crochet hook. A great choice is also Madame Tricote Paris Camilla. Both yarns are 100% cotton and offer good breathability, which makes them perfect for spring and summer weather.
Does The Pattern Include Multiple Sizes?
The pattern includes instructions for two sizes. You can crochet this flower cardigan to fit a 3-year-old child (92-98cm/32-38 inches tall) or a 5-year-old child (110 cm/43 inches tall). You can also easily adjust the length of the coat by working more rows for the lower part to make it longer or reducing the number of worked rows to make it shorter.
