how to crochet a cozy bow cardigan (any size!) | step-by-step tutorial and measurement guide


Hi everyone! I'm so glad you're here to crochet a handmade piece for your wardrobe! In this post, you'll find a measurement guide, details about my cardigan, and more recommendations on making your cardigan a piece you'll love for years to come. 

Here are some useful links to support your crochet process: YouTube tutorial for video demonstrations, PDF pattern for reference, YARN KIT which comes with all the yarn you need to crochet the cardigan (size XS, S, M, and L) with a 6 mm hook. ALL the details are mentioned in different sections of the YouTube video too, so please watch that if you can't find something here!

DESIGN

The cardigan features a repetitive stitch pattern and easy-to-assemble panels. Whether you're looking for everyday comfort or a stylish layering piece, this cozy cardigan is a staple to have in your wardrobe that you'll enjoy making and wearing.

Keeping that in mind, you can easily adjust the following...

MY CARDIGAN'S MEASUREMENTS 

Back panel - width 45 cm / length 45 cm

Width of sleeves and armhole - 18 cm (36 cm all around)

Length of sleeves - 42 cm

Width of front panel - 14 cm at the top and 22 cm at the bottom

Shoulder section - 15 stitches / 14 cm wide on both sides and 5 rows / 5.5 cm long)

Strings for the bows - 47 cm long

Use Google to convert cm to inches if that’s what you prefer!

YARN: My cardigan is made with light weight (size 3) yarn that's a blend of alpaca and mohair. I used around 300 grams of yarn (6 balls of 50 grams each) for size XS/S. You can find more details about the yarn I used here.

LENGTH - Make your cardigan longer/full-length by doing more rows of half double crochets or make it shorter/cropped by doing fewer rows

WIDTH - Create a comfy oversized fit by making the front and back panels wider (you can do this by doing more foundation half double crochets when starting your project) or you can create a fitted cardigan by making the front and back panels the same size as your chest measurements (you can do this by crocheting foundation half double crochets until the panel is the same width as your chest or the measurement from shoulder to shoulder)

SLEEVE LENGTH & ARMHOLE - You can make a full-sleeve, mid-sleeve, or half-sleeve cardigan by doing more or less rounds of half double crochets. Note that the width of the sleeves is the same as the width of the armhole! So, if you want looser sleeves, leave more space open at the top for the armhole and if you want fitted sleeves, then leave less space so the cardigan will fit closer to your arms. 

MORE NOTES:

- The number of rows in the front panels should be the same as in the back panel. The rows of the shoulder section are counted separately and are not included in the rows for the front and back panels!

- The top half of the front panel is the slope design and it should end by the middle row, which is the total number of rows in the back panel divided by 2. The bottom half of the front panel (after the middle row) should have straight edges on both sides and no increases. 

- Try to crochet even numbers (ex. 14, 22, 36, 42) when making the rows and stitches, so it's easier to create a pattern for the slope. 

- You can easily make the tie-front bow shorter or longer by doing more/less foundation single crochets.

  2. *CRYPTO RECOVERY*

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Good day Audience, I want to use this great medium to announce this information to the public about JETWEBHACKERS few months back, I was seeking an online BTC investment plan when I got scammed for about $142,000. I was so down and didn?t know what to do until I came across a timeline about JETWEBHACKERS, so I reached out to him and to my greatest surprise, they were able to recover all the funds which I had previously lost to the Devils. I am so glad to share this wonderful news with you all because it cost me nothing to announce a good and reliable Hacker as JETWEBHACKERS.

  4. I made a costly mistake on Coinbase, sending $43,000 worth of Bitcoin to an incorrect address. The support team informed me that recovery was impossible. Desperate for a solution, I researched online and discovered Morphohack, a company with a proven track record in cryptocurrency recovery. I contacted them, providing transaction details and screenshots. To my surprise, Morphohack successfully tracked down my Bitcoin, which had been transferred to multiple micro wallets, and recovered approximately $39,800. If you've lost Bitcoins or other crypto due to a similar mistake, lost access to your crypto wallet, Morphohack Cyber Service may be able to assist you.

  5. As an accountant, I'm typically cautious with my finances. However, last year, I felt pressure to join the cryptocurrency market, fearing I'd miss out on potential gains. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention, with its professional website, real-time charts, and promising testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the platform, offering a $200 welcome bonus. Convinced by their promises, I invested $87,000 worth of Bitcoins.
    But when CBEX's website crashed, and all communication channels were severed, I realized I had been scammed. Devastated and lost, I searched for ways to recover my funds. That's when I discovered Morphohack, a reputable crypto recovery service. Their expertise and track record gave me hope.

    Morphohack's team worked diligently to track down my stolen bitcoins and successfully recovered it from the CBEX scam. I'm grateful for their exceptional service and expertise. Thanks to Morphohack, I was able to recover my losses. If you've fallen victim to a CBEX/PCEX Scam, I highly recommend Morphohack's services.
