A combination of classic granny squares and half double crochet makes this cardigan a rewarding project for the beginner to advanced crafter. There is very little sewing. I love to sew, just not after all that work. It seems that it takes just as long to sew as it does to crochet or knit, so let’s make it “Seamlessly Simple”™.

The first step is to create Granny Squares. They can be either “sewn together” or “joined together into a strip as you crochet”. All details on how to join as you go are included in this patter. Once the strip is created you crochet the body, onto the strip. Add stitches for the sleeves and crochet half the sleeve, divide for the neck opening and crochet the other half of the sleeve and bodice. The sleeve and front bodice seams are then either sewn or crocheted together. As a finishing touch, crochet front bands and a border around the entire sweater. Add buttons if you like or not.

I would love to see your finished sweater. Post it
