Chess Cardigan Crochet Pattern

Description

The Chess Cardigan is a sophisticated, loose granny square crochet cardigan pattern. It features eye-catching and timeless two-tone granny squares and a minimalist geometric look taking the granny square look into the future.

The cardigan pattern is both easy and super fun to make. All you have to do is make 23 identical granny squares using double crochet, join them together, add a few double and single crochet details and you’re good to go! The pattern contains information for easy adjustment of the sleeve length.

The pattern includes:
- Pattern written in English (US) terms with UK stitches listed for reference
- Picture guides
- Illustrated guides for assembling

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate

This crochet cardigan pattern is best suited for intermediate crocheters who are comfortable with granny squares and ready to take on a wearable garment project. The construction is modular and satisfying — each square is identical, so the process builds confidence as you go, and the two-tone color work gives the finished piece a striking, modern look.

S/M (L/XL) 2XL
* The model in the pictures is wearing a size S/M.

    Pattern was very easy to follow. I us3d the S/M size chart. I think my finished work came out a bit smaller than expected but probably because I used a small yarn...either way, I love it. Thank you
