Easy Essential Cardigan Crochet Pattern

[@camper14]

Love your tutorial, you have no idea how much it's appreciated that you include instructions on other sizes. May not be a surprise that a whole lot of people are not a small or medium size. What a beautiful sweater.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you so much!

I have been crocheting for 56 years and today I learned about esc...I’m very happy.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Awesome!

I learned top down after 50 years and it opened up a whole world of crochet to me! It never gets boring!

[@softycadence3340]

I love love love this stitch. Thank you for introducing me to it. I’ve only done extended doubles before but I like this texture more. Also bless you for taking the time to include all the sizes and number of stitches needed. I don’t need to do any math. Wish more people would do this to simplify things. You are a blessing to math challenged crocheters 😊

[@claudiagrady5309]

Love the way you state the # of stitches for each size. Really great. Thank you so much. You made it so much easier.

[@noracampos7426]

Best video for sizing …love the cardi plus my new favorite stitch replacing the half double is this awesome extended single…who knew …thank you 🥰

[@gailyou9005]

I'm so glad to see more designers are using foundation sc, hdc, dc and trc so much easier.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

I totally agree!

[@lindawilliams2716]

Thank you so much for a variation of esc. The ones where you just pull the second loop up longer didn't really give the look I wanted. This is perfect. And Thank You for such a simple and beautiful cardigan pattern. I'm 4 years back into crochet after a 20 year hiatus and things are so much better with video tutorials as I'm a more visual learner.

Thank you so much, great video. Really appreciate you saying the sizes without me having to go to another site to see how much I have to chain. Simply wonderful

I really like the extended single crochet, a lovely cardigan, Thank you 🌸 Just bought the pattern so here goes 😁

[@laurelgirard8475]

I am almost done with the dc stitch only cardigan. It took me a day. I’ve made many cardigans , but was looking for one that fit just right. You know that elusive Goldilocks fit…not too loose, not too tight! Plus. I wanted numbers for my beginning chain and row 1 of increases (I wanted them for the “box”, you know, where you make the front, sides, and back then put the # of starting chains). This way I could use it for similiar cardigans in the future. My shoulders are smaller than for my size, so it’s hard to find the exact chains needed. Your #’s were perfect! Thank you. This cardigan is next on my list.

[@sofiablakey6454]

Can’t wait to try & make your cardigan. You have done an outstanding job In explaining how to crochet this cardigan! ❤️❤️❤️

[@judithserrano1584]

I just want to say I always wanted to learn how to make cardigan. This was so easy to follow. And I'm happy to say I did it👏👏😘❤God bless you. I will look forward to looking for more of your videos.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@DarqueDraconian]

Just got done making this for a cosplay. Love how I was able to do more rows to make it longer and, with it being summer, leave the long sleeves off if I chose to. Did a scallop edging on the arm holes and it fits amazing!!!!! The size (XL) is perfect! Will definitely make this agin ❤

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Wonderful!

[@ntsikincomanzi3433]

I love it, I will definitely make it and I have learnt something new today, extended sc. Thank you🙌

So happy I found this. Was getting frustrated with finding a tutorial that would work for the cosplay top I’m doing (Monkey D. Luffy’s red shirt/cardigan from the One Piece anime). This is gonna be super easy and nice. Love that you gave the different sizes and such. Explanation and tone of voice is definitely a plus for me as well. ❤❤❤❤

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

That's awesome! I would love to see the finished cosplay. My daughter loves that anime :)

[@drenelj8853]

I really like this cardigan, you did a great job demonstrating and explaining the pattern.

[@niruparaja5325]

I like the way you explain step by step thank you

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

You are welcome 😊

[@lpj7589]

Love your tutorial. A small suggestion: in future, could you place the camera closer to your work so that beginners, as myself, enjoy & learn how to follow your instructions. ( can you re-do this tutorial. I'm dying to make a cardigan😊)

How would u go a out adding unto holes?

[@hashsand]

So helpful to have this video to visualise the working of the cardigan, compared to seeing just your pattern for this, because I'm pretty new to making cardigans. It's great to see the raglan style of working, offers so many options and frees us from sewing. Thanks, Breann!

I am making this now - so easy! I just started crocheting beginning of Sept. and i am making a sweater. 😀 Your tutorial and pattern are excellent and easy to follow. I think this is a versatile pattern - you could make a vest or cardivest, add ribbing, use wool, cotton or other yarn, etc. Christmas presents! 👍🏻💜 thank you! New sub!

Oh my gosh that’s so cool! You make it look so easy! I can’t decide now if I want to do the EVERYGIRL Sweater or THIS one! This one might look better in the Red Heart Roll With it Tweed (Sunset) that I already have in my stash to work with...hmmmmm

[@cherylingram-williams2355]

1st time seeing your video. I was looking for an alternative beginning for a granny square cardigan I'm making and this is perfect. I've never heard of the extended single crochet until now and I love how it looks. I like how you give stitch counts for the different sizes, so there there's no guessing... I'm half way through the video and I'm enjoying it. Good job!

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Yay! Thank you so much!!

[@Uzmy3]

Thank you so much for providing the size details in inches, i am making this 😊

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hope you like it!

Super 👌

[@user-wp4ld8ki5r]

Lovely Cardigan. While reading the pattern I saw your Tweed Cardi. Do you have a video for it? I love the shorter sleeves.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! No, sorry, I don't have a video for that pattern.

[@jenniferd9038]

thanks

[@gillianoday2341]

Is there a different stich I can use please as I have done a few in this stich. Thanks. You are very good & I love your vidioes.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Thank you so much!! And sure! You can use any stitch you like :) I would make a gauge swatch to see how the sizing will compare to the original pattern. I think a herringbone half double crochet would look really nice!

[@larrypotter5858]

Ok so I love the pattern and the tutorial, and I was halfway through making this cardigan myself when i realized I wouldn't have enough yarn to finish it, so i had to unravel everything 😢 But I was wondering if it would be possible to use double crochet instead of an extended single crochet to make this, as double crochet uses less yarn than extended single crochet?

[@deepgill9131]

Hi really nice cardigan and well explained, I only have no 4.5 crochet hook I was wondering if I keep same no of stitches for medium or should I change, as my crochet hook is different than you suggested.

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! I would check your gauge first and see how it compares to the gauge swatch listed in the pattern :)

[@bettyhite7301]

I love this! Your work is wonderful. Is it possible to extend this to duster length. Thanks

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Yes, absolutely! Just continue the length until it's the size you want :)

[@sherit8594]

Bravo 👏 the way you explain Everything leaves no questions 💙 Thank you for sharing your time and Talent 💫

[@evelynmartinez86]

Hi! I want to start out with chain foundation instead of fsc. I want to make a size S so would my chain be 74 or 75 total? Just want to clarify! Please and thank you!

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! You will want it to be 1 more than the fsc :)

[@tammygurke7482]

Please please respond to this, I have a bunch of yarn, number five bulky, do I need to do anything different as far as stitches?

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! I would go a gauge swatch and see how it matches up to the patterns gauge. If it is too big try going down a hook size to see if you can get a match :)

[@lawilcoxon]

Hello and I love your patterns and videos!! Question....in your written pattern, Round 2 says to "join to first ecs with sl st". This really doesn't make sense to me AND you do not have this step in your tutorial. Just wondering if this should be removed from the pattern/ignored? TIA and stay safe!!

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! Sorry, that's a typo! Do not join :)

[@luisaferran-nieves8500]

What are the measurements for a size small and a size medium in inches? Please

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! All the measurements are listed in the description.

[@hollydavies1635]

Can I ask the length of the cardi for example a M is 82 row is that including the rows from the start or is that additional to the ones you did before you joined the sleeves together? Thankyou 🙏

[@kylasomerville7339]

Anyone else gauge too big?! I used Caron One Pound and have to work with a 3.5mm to get a 4 in square... What's everyone else using?

[@elizabethcowan4904]

I used the Lion Brand Heartland and a 4.00 mm hook using the 2X instructions. It’s HUGE. I could put my leg through the armhole LOL. I do love the pattern and it was so easy to follow, so I’ll give it another shot with some modifications.

Hi love this pattern. I wear size Uk 14. Will i need size M,L or XL? Kindly let me know. Thanks a ton.

[@shelovestheson]

Hi Neela, I haven't this cardi (I've just started) but according to the tension I'm making a small on 5mm hook. I'm a UK size 16. I made another similar top down cardigan with 92 chain and it was huge. Check your tension...Id say follow medium if in doubt.

[@shaelyneduran3069]

Is there a way to do this in children sizes? I love the pattern and would love to make for my niece

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

Hi! How old is your neice?

[@shaelyneduran3069]

Well she wears a 10/12 in kids clothes

[@HookedOnHomemadeHappiness]

That should be pretty close to an adult small. I'm thinking you could use DK weight yarn and go down a hook size or two and make a small.

It's hard to see the stitches. If the camera was closer to your hands, it would be really helpful.

[@lindareffitt3516]

If I need to see the stitches closer I just zoom in by putting thumb and first finger on my screen (on my tablet), and spreading them apart .
