Sizing:
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE. This pattern is written based on measurements and can be easily adjusted to your custom measurements. The pattern includes suggested measurements to create adult sizes Small (US women’s sizes 4-6) Medium (sizes 8-10) and Large (sizes 12-14) just as a guideline, but the pattern includes sizing tips to customize your sweater to fit ANY size, width, or length. So no worries if you are not between an adult size S-L, you can totally make this cardigan! I write my patterns this way to give you the creative freedom to make your sweater to fit your unique size and style preferences.

You will need:
Approx 1500-2000 yards of DK or light worsted weight yarn (Yardage will depend upon the size of your cardigan and your gauge. I used about 8 skeins of Cascade 220 Superwash yarn - about 1,700 yards - to create a size medium. If you want to use a heavier worsted weight yarn, you may want to go up a hook size or two.)
Size H/5mm crochet hook (for the ribbing)
Size 1/5,5mm crochet hook (for the main body of the sweater)
Stitch markers
Scissors
Yarn needle
Measuring tape

Stitches used:
Chain (ch)
Slip stitch (sl st)
Single crochet (sc)
Back loop half double crochet (blhdc)
Special stitches: Herringbone half double crochet (HHdc) and Front post double treble (fpdtr) (photo tutorial for special stitches are included in pattern).
