How To Crochet A Cardigan That Fits

Have you crocheted a cardigan and it didn’t fit? This happens all the time and it’s frustrating!

There are so many lovely cardigan crochet patterns, but crocheting a cardigan that actually fits is more involved than just getting a pattern, some yarn and a crochet hook.

There are 7 steps to successfully crocheting a cardigan that fits:

1. pattern
2. sizing
3. yarn, hook, tools and notions
4. swatching
5. crocheting
6. washing
7. review

The actual crocheting of the cardigan is step 5 and there’s some important preparation that needs to be done first so that the size of the crochet stitches are the same size as the pattern.

It’s easy to learn how to crochet a cardigan that fits.

I’ve put together everything that I’ve learnt about crocheting and knitting garments into an easy to follow online course, so that you don’t need to make all the mistakes that I have!

The Crochet a Cardigan online course is ideal for learning how to crochet your first cardigan, and is an easy process to follow if you’re a more advanced garment maker. Use it with any garment crochet pattern and use any yarn – you can make the cardigan that you want to make by following the online course.
