Trendy Crochet Cardigan Tutorial

Written Pattern: vivcrochets.com/trendy-cardigan
Hi everyone! I've been working on this trendy crochet cardigan for a while now. I'm super happy with how it turned out! It could even pass as a store-bought cardigan! It uses the lemon peel stitch, but it can easily be swapped out with an easier stitch like the double crochet. It is very simple and cozy and I hope you enjoy this tutorial!
Materials:
Bernat Softee Cotton Yarn in "Seaside Blue": amzn.to/3RRJD8b
- Weight: Light (3)
- Fiber: 60% Cotton, 40% Acrylic
- Approximate total length: 1270 yd / 1160 m
- Approximate total weight: 21 oz / 600 g
5.0 mm Clover Amour Crochet Hook: amzn.to/3noE9mz
Yarn Needle
Scissors
Project Level:
This project is pretty big, so it isn't ideal for an absolute beginner. I do go over every new stitch that we do, so it definitely is possible! Most of the stitches used are beginner level. We do, however, do some sewing to put the panels together! Another option would be to slip stitch the seams together instead!
Stitches:
Slip Knot (sk)
Chain (ch)
Double Crochet (dc)
Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc)
Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc)
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Single crochet (sc)
Gauge:
9 lemon peels (18 sc+dc) - 16 rows = 4 in / 10 cm
Dimensions:
Sleeves - 19 cm/7.5" wide x 40 cm/15.5" long
Back Panel - 38 cm/15" long x 44 cm/17.5" wide
Front Panels - 38 cm/15" long x 19 cm/7.5" wide
Tips:
- Tighten your slip stitches to make the seam smaller and less visible
- The chain 1 at the beginning of each round does NOT count as a single crochet
- Pull your loose ends to the inside of the cardigan and weave them in (or leave them hanging!)
Send me a picture of your finished cardigan on Instagram @viv.crochets! I’d love to see it!
Thanks for watching!

hi, just curious and new to crocheting 😊 Is there a negative side to double crochets? or did you just say that because thats whats most commonly used 🤔

I am a serious beginner, like I’ve never crocheted before but this is really making me want to learn. My brain already hurts from trying to take everything in but this cardigan is so cute, I will definitely be mastering the stitches and coming back to try and make this. Edit to the replies under this comment: I’ve been crocheting for a year now and I’ve improved so much. Thank you for all the encouragement. I have yet to make this pattern, as I’ve been busy and getting constantly distracted by other patterns but I am determined to make it one day! I hope you all do well in crocheting too!

When you finished the first sleeve, GIRLLL THAT WAS SO SATISFYING ANF FLAT AND EVENNN
What a great teacher. You explain things so well in your calm voice. Will definitely try to crochet this
You are so gifted that I am almost in awe of your designs, explanation and style
I like how you do everything slowly so we can see exactly what you are doing. I am going to try making this garment. Thank you for sharing. Bravo teacher.👍🏿👏🏿
Fun fact: The lemon peel stitch is also known as a houndstooth stitch if you switch colours between rows! You can type it up and you can make a really nice sweater vest!

To stop the weird increase after a bit, try skipping the last one or two stiches instead of fully completing the round. It gives a more uniform shape. I started doing that after like the 5th or 6th round.

This is awesome! Ty so much!
I love this cardigan so much, I've made it twice now and it's just such a fantastic piece to add to the wardrobe. The instructions are super clear, it works up beautifully, and it looks so professional when it's finished. I made my first one in a berry piece over the summer and I've just finished a second one in more of a rusty orange. You always put out such articulate and easy to follow tutorials, Viv! I learned to crochet using your ribbed beanie video and have made a little over a half a dozen of those. I've since branched out into learning to knit, but I like to keep coming back to your channel to see the new projects you've been putting out. I'm so parasocially proud of you!! lol

Hi! I usually don't leave any comments, but i just finished this cardigan after a few weeks of work, working on and off on the project, and i can say that it turned out so nice ! thanks a lot for the tutorial! I used a 4mm hook, which is a bit smaller than the one used for the tutorial. So, for those wondering, i think that you can just measure the piece that u're working on as u go with cm or inches, and it will turn out just as fine. I have larger shoulders, so I adapted my pattern, and the back panel is 56cm wide = 21 and 1/2 inch. Turned out perfect! Have fun crocheting everyone!

Okay so I’m 9 months pregnant and I haven’t been crocheting for a while since I’ve been mid semester as well as moving and being pregnant. Anyways, I miss crocheting but I’m not able to do it now as everything is still in boxes 🥲🤣 So lately I’ve been watching your videos before bed and on top of genuinely learning a lot, you also have such a soothing voice that it helps me get better sleep! I usually can only sleep an hour or two at a time but after one of your videos I can sleep the whole night. I hope that doesn’t seem offensive because I promise your videos aren’t like boring me to sleep or anything, they are so educational and helpful to me. Also I’ve never made clothes so it’s so interesting how they come together
