Tip:

To maintain the cardigan’s shape and vibrancy, hand wash it gently and lay it flat to dry.

Materials Needed:

• Himalayan Bebelux Everyday yarn or similar. The main colors mentioned are lilac and light lilac.
• 2.5 millimeter crochet hook (or 3 mm if preferred for a looser stitch).
• Buttons for fastening.

Pattern:

Starting Chain:

• Make a chain of 40 for a 1-year-old size (adjust the number of chains for larger sizes: 50 for 1.5-2 years, 60 for 2-3 years, etc.).

First Row:

• Skip one chain from the hook, then make a handrail (double crochet) in the next chain. Continue to make three double crochets (handrails) into the same space, then skip two chains and repeat in the next space along the chain.

Following Rows:

• Continue with the pattern, making “V” shapes by doubling crochet stitches into the same spaces, with skipped stitches in between, ending each row with a handrail.

Shortcut Rows:

• After 8 rows, begin to take shortcuts (decreases) every 9th row to shape the cardigan, especially towards the top near the shoulders. Adjust the number of rows and shortcuts based on the size needed.

Back Piece:

• Similar to the front pieces but without any shortcuts. Start with 55 chains and follow the pattern without decreasing, ensuring the piece’s total length matches that of the front pieces.

Joining the Pieces:

• Sew or crochet the shoulder and side pieces together, ensuring proper fit and alignment.

Sleeves:

• Pick up stitches around the armholes and crochet in rounds, using the same “V” stitch pattern. Add decreases by making two stitches together at intervals for a tapered sleeve ending. Finish with an elastic band at the cuff by switching stitch direction for a ribbed effect.

Edging and Finishing:

• Clean up the bottom hem with a simple crochet edge to match the rest of the design. Add a buttonband if you prefer buttons over laces for closure.

Decorative Touches:

• Optionally, add a lace-up belt, embellish with flowers, or other crocheted motifs in contrasting colors for decoration.

Final Steps:

• Sew buttons opposite the buttonhole band. Weave in all loose ends, and block your cardigan to size.
