Easy Crochet Crop Cardigan - Beginner-Friendly

[@aidom4203]

This cardigan took me 5 days to get it done but it was worth it! I love it. Thank you for the patern ❤

[@mjsoffthehook]

Great job!

How much yarn is needed?

[@kimwallace6981]

Loved the pattern, easy to follow made two for my granddaughters

[@aidom4203]

@@mishti0305 it depends on the yarn you chose, i didn't use the brand in the tutotial as i live in europe not the US. I would say for a 4 to 5mm hook yarn type i used approximately 1050m of yarn. Hope this helps ☺️

I finished this project yesterday. My very first time making a cardigan (was making ponchos, scarves and hats before) and it turned out beautifully! Loving it!

[@nelaanna5879]

Beautiful project. I'm going to start it soon, please pray for me. This will be my first crocheting experience. I've learnt about stitches from KZbin.

[@kapra1783]

I'm working on it right now with this video and everytime I open it your comment ist the first one and the "pray for me" always takes me out! 😂 How did it go for you, have you finished it yet? :)

[@nelaanna5879]

@@kapra1783 hi. Yes, i finished it last year, and it took me almost 15 days to complete it. I made it for my sister and she wore it during winters last year. I loved it. 🙂 How's your going?

@@nelaanna5879 I'm making one for my sister too!! What a coincidence 😅 its going great, it's a very nice tutorial!

Question for you all about the sleeves! Do you think it might be possible instead of attaching yarn and chaining, to just turn and do a foundation half-double crochet for 45 stitches instead when you reach the left corner? TIA! Looking forward to taking on this cardigan!

[@ichbindieminka]

Hey @mjsoffthehook I‘ve started this as my first ever cardigan and I love the tutorial. So easy to follow. I’ve added 10 more rows to the band bc I wanted it to fit loose. I used 3mm cotton yarn 8/8 and I feel like it looks still bigger than in your tutorial, but I start to worry that it will be way too small. Will the blocking do the trick?

[@margaretjohnston2858]

I am new to this craft, if you wanted longer would you just do extra rows. Thanks for your time.

[@mjsoffthehook]

Yes!

[@katrinagreely5399]

I’ve decided to do this cardigan for the CAL. Silly question: what is the benefit of extended single crochet rather than half doubles? Curiosity and the Kat….😸

[@mjsoffthehook]

It’s a different look. Half double gives more a ridged row look.

[@crissesoto1891]

Hi MJ, another amazing cardigan! Thank your for sharing the tutorial. I wonder if the PDF version of this pattern includes measurements? I would like to purchase it to make this cardigan but with a thicker yarn that I already bought.

[@kerrydodson1451]

I just finished the cropped version of this and it’s awesome!It took a little more effort because I did all the ribbing in a different color. I really want to make another one with short sleeves, but I’m not great at adjusting patterns for changes like that😢 Do you have any suggestions on how to modify to short sleeves? Or another similar pattern available with short sleeves? Thank you for all your great patterns and wonderful videos!

[@mjsoffthehook]

Do you have the PDF pattern? It includes instructions on how to leave off the sleeve on the 4th page. I also have the Bora Bora sleeveless cardigan www.mjsoffthehookdesigns.com/crochet-sleeveless-cardigan-pattern/

[@orangelemon7902]

Thank you for sharing your amazing creation! It's my first attempt to a proper wearable and I'm finally making a project for myself 😆. I'm new to crochet and gets confused with finding the right or wrong side. Your marking helps a lot. Got questions though: I'm at the point where I'm doing the ribbing at the bottom and I noticed that the marked right side ends up being the inside. Is that supposed to be like that? Should the peaks be going towards the center or outwards? And the right panel that you started working on at 43:40 came out to be the left side of the actual garment?

What do you think about square nots for joining new yarns?

[@libbylandscape3560]

No please don’t, they turn into slip knots very easily with a slight tug on one end. You could try a fisherman’s knot, it takes a bit longer but is more secure, a quick search here on KZbin will pull up plenty of video’s.

Hi! I am going to start this project next week! I think I am size M, and I would like to make it hip length. How much yarn do you think I would need?

[@mafiola7]

Beautiful work! I have just started making it and I’m wondering how long is your initial strip of single crochets in the back loops for the size M? I have done the same amount of chains as you did and I’m thinking that it might be too wide actually …

[@mjsoffthehook]

I do not have that measurement. Is your gauge correct? If your gauge is correct your sizing will be accurate.

Holaaa por favor 🙏 me podrían ayudar con cuantas cadenas podría empezar para la talla L y para los brazos también. Por favor. Antemano muchísimas gracias 🙏 💓 💕 💖 ❤ 💗

[@lisainfl210]

Never made a wearable, except for a hat...would this be that kind of beginner appropriate? Also, how important is gauge in this pattern? Finished product is beautiful, love the yarn.

[@heididares1687]

Hi MJ, I absolutely love this crop cardigan and love your work! The video is great !😍. I am so close to finishing this piece and I had a question about the ribbing on the sleeves. When I work the sc in 2 rows and skip a row, the video says it will be 26 stitches, however I end up with 2 extra stitches on the end. The sleeve is 40 rows so the 2 sc and skip one pattern is only 38? Do I skip one more row and then do only one sc to complete the sleeve ( 27 stitches)? Can you please help!! Thanks so much 😊

[@MrsMack-bw5qd]

It would be so helpful to me if you showed the whole view of the cardigan. Because I get confused when I can’t see it

[@thaoletl80]

Thank you pour le modèle but vous parlez en pouces qui correspondent à combien se rangs exactement????

[@widadshekri9757]

Love it

[@debbieprzybyla8438]

When did you do the ribbing on the sleeves ?

[@kimbobalou28]

I purchased the pattern and will be referring to the video as needed, thank you. I’m using a different weight yarn, 4 weight, and my sizing is off, should I just add rows to match the sizing shown in the schematic on the pattern?

[@mjsoffthehook]

Yes, that will work. As long as the width is good. If the width is not good you will have to likely start again and make sure your gauge is correct, you may need to change your hook size.

[@charlotteluker2146]

Is the only difference in the two patterns the band and the belt? Like if if want to make this long I don’t need to make the panels wider or anything?

[@NM-js8ky]

Sleeves start at 13:22
