The Design—Crochet Sweater Cardigan Pattern
This Chateau Cardigan crochet pattern features a subtle but stunning waffle texture and classic 1 x 1 ribbing — a timeless combination. Dressed up or down, for work or errands, this cardigan is an easy cozy addition to your cold-weather wardrobe.
The cardigan is constructed bottom-up by making two panels—a front and back panel, then seaming them together at the shoulders and sides. Then, adding the ribbing and button band, and sleeves.
Fit + Sizing
The Chateau Cardigan has a comfortable oversize (but not too oversize) fit. It features a straight body, long tapered sleeves shaped by decreases, waffle texture, and wide fole-over collar. Bottom hem and cuffs are worked perpendicular to the bottom (applied ribbing). Sizing is based on Craft Yarn Council's standards.
It is designed to have a positive ease of 5-7" (13-18 cm). To select your size, measure your bust and find the garment circumference in the chart that matches approximately 5-7" (13-18 cm) larger. If you prefer to have more or less ease, select the garment circumference that reflects that number in inches compared to your measured bust in inches. I have a 34" bust and am wearing a size small for 5" of ease.
Size | Bust Circum. | Garment Circum. |
XS | 28-30" | 35" |
S | 32-34" | 39" |
M | 36-38" | 43" |
L | 40-42" | 47" |
XL | 44-46" | 51" |
2XL | 48-50" | 55" |
3XL | 52-54" | 59" |
