C3 Crochet Crop Cardigan Free Pattern

This cardigan will be a perfect project for the summer as it is easy and you can use it in many different ways. It can be joined with a summer dress as a bolero, can be used on its own as a blouse or it can be worn on top of a long-sleeved shirt as a second layer. The stitch change from double crochet to a solid shell stitch pattern gives it an elegant look and with the three buttons it looks even more sophisticated. A link to a free pattern is at the end of the post.
