how to crochet the everyday cardigan | easy short-sleeve cardigan tutorial and free pattern!

Image
Hi everyone! I'm back to crocheting my dream wardrobe, starting with this short-sleeve cardigan that's the perfect piece to help us transition from summer to fall.  The texture made with the V-stitches is light and drapey, but still provides just the right amount of coverage to wear on slightly breezier days. If you're not sure how to style it, I love pairing it with a plain tank top or cami underneath (it's my go-to outfit combo for crochet tops!). You can find the step-by-step tutorial on my youtube channel and a link to the yarns I used on my amazon storefront . Please keep in mind that the amount of yarn you need for this project will depend on the size you're making! You can refer to the measurements of my cardigan below and use them as a guide to make any size adjustments. The goal is to use this pattern to crochet your perfect fit! Measurements of my cardigan: Back panel - 14.5 inches wide and around 15 inches long  Front panel - around 7.2 inches wide at th...
