This easy crochet cardigan pattern is a fun beginner-friendly way to create a women’s sweater you’ll love for a lifetime. The oversized puffed sleeves and elegantly fitted waistline make this cardigan a great addition to any wardrobe.

Made out of two simple hexagons, my easy step-by-step instructions will walk you through every step, even if you’ve never made a garment before.

Great with a skirt or pair of jeans, you can crochet Mathilda’s Cardigan with fun bright colors to liven up your closet, or stick with classic neutral tones to match any outfit.

SIZE

The cardigan is available in 5 sizes: S, M and L, XL and 2XL size. Sizes are written as M (S, L, XL, 2XL) throughout the pattern. Pictures illustrate the Medium size.

Below are the cardigan bust dimensions for the different sizes.

S: bust circumference 78 cm / 30.75”

L: bust circumference 102 cm / 40”
XL: bust circumference 114 cm / 44.75”

Because of the hexagon construction, the cardigan is naturally wider at the hips. The dimensions given above are at the breast level. The graph below graph shows the dimensions for the size Medium.

All my patterns are in English, using standard knitting and crochet terms but with tons of step by step pictures and more detailed explanations to make sure they are extra easy to follow even if you’re not a knit/crochet expert.
