The Bari Cardigan is an easy, modern crochet cardigan featuring mesh stitch, a V-neck, and a classic button-up front. It has a comfy, oversized fit while remaining lightweight and breathable. Instructions for making a cropped version are included (the white cardigan in the sample photo is cropped).

This cardigan is worked flat in panels, then seamed together before you add the ribbed hem and button band. The V-neck shaping is built directly into the front panels, and the sleeves are worked in the round from the top down. This pattern has clear, row-by-row instructions that walk you through each part of the construction, with stitch counts, decrease breakdowns by size, and charts to help you stay on track.
