FreePDFEasy Crew-Neck Cardigan | Free Crochet Pattern (PDF)
The biggest make here, and worth every hour. Simple panels, minimal shaping, a real cardigan you'll wear out of the house.
About this pattern
I'll be straight with you, this is the biggest make on the list, and it earns its place. The cardigan comes together from simple panels with very little shaping, so it's far gentler than most sweater patterns, but it's still a proper garment that asks for real time. If you've made a few smaller things and you're ready to wear your crochet out of the house, start here. The free PDF runs XS to XXL, written in US terms, with photos at each stage so you're never left guessing. Soft worsted keeps it cosy and the plain crew neck goes with everything you own. Block it properly at the end and people will assume you bought it.
