The Beyond everyday crochet cardigan pattern is the perfect project to take you from beginner to intermediate. Crochet your own clothing with patterns such as the Beyond cardigan. Worked using medium weight yarn, this cosy cardi is perfect for layering and keeping warm during chilly weather. I used Eden Cottage Yarns Bowland aran, a luxurious blend of merino wool and linen. This is the ultimate modern, easy, everyday crochet cardigan pattern.  

I designed this cardigan to be the first garment for a crocheter looking to expand their skills. The name “Beyond” signifies the journey beyond the swatch, the blanket, or the baby item. This garment is for you to expand your skills in crochet and achieve a sophisticated look without stressing over unfamiliar charts. This pattern is professionally tech edited to ensure your satisfaction. I also offer email pattern support should you require any assistance when making your project. 

This pattern is written in US terms.

This cardigan is made up of 5 pieces that are seamed together at the end. The neckband and button bands are then worked.

The cardigan has 6cm/2.25-13cm/5.25in positive ease, a gentle set-in sleeve, and a relaxed v-neck collar. You can either make it as an open front cardigan, or allocate buttons for a more fitted look. There are instructions for both options!

Only two stitches are used throughout to create different textures. With nothing but half double crochet to worry about for most of this cardigan, you can focus on stitch counts and measurements.
