this pattern is English only using US terminology.
The Florette cardigan is a made to measure and size inclusive pattern, this means you measure yourself and then follow the pattern instructions.
The pattern is beginner friendly as long as you know most the common stitches. I have provided detailed steps and photos throughout for visual learners.
You will need any type of 10ply (DK weight weight) cotton yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. You can use other fibres such as wool, acrylic, cottons.
I used roughly 1200m of yarn for the size S (UK 8), you will also need some buttons, I used roughly 3 of 1.5” sized buttons.
