Pink tie front cardigan jacket crochet pattern
Step-by-step crochet instructions
Part 1 video tutorial
Begin crocheting the cardigan from the bottom to top.
Step 1
Make a foundation chain of 137 chs or multiples of 6 chs plus 5 additional chs.
Use a larger size crochet hook.
1st row (wrong side) – h2ch, sc3, [ch5, sk3, sc3] to end + RC4
2nd row (right side) – h6ch, trc2, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] to end + RC1
3rd row – h2ch, sc3, [ch2, sk2, trc1, ch2, sk2, sc3] to end + RC4
Alternate the 2nd and 3rd rows about seven times, and then continue crocheting the pattern using a smaller size crochet hook.
Step 2
Decrease
30th row – h7ch, trc1, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] to 1 last repeat; ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc1, sk1, trc1
31st row – h2ch, sc1, [ch2, sk2, trc1, ch2, sk2, sc3] to 1 last repeat; ch2, sk2, trc1, sk2, dc1
32nd row – h2ch, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] to 3 chs; sk2, dc1
Use a larger size crochet hook.
33rd row = 3rd row
Step 3
First front part
34th row – h7ch, trc1, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] x 3, sk2, dc1
35th row – h2ch, sc3, [ch2, sk2, trc1, ch2, sk2, sc3] to 1 last repeat; ch2, sk2, trc1, sk2, dc1
36th row – h2ch, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] to end + RC1
37th row = 3rd row
38th row = 2nd row
Alternate the 37th and 38th rows until you crochet 50 rows in total.
Step 4
Back part
Skip 7 chs from the 1st front part and attach the yarn.
34th row – ch2, sk2, trc3, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] x 10, sk2, dc1
35th row = 3rd row
36th row = 2nd row
Alternate the 35th and 36th rows until you crochet 49 rows.
First back shoulder part
50th row – h6ch, trc2, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] x 2, sk2, dc1
51, 53 rows = 3rd row
52, 54 rows = 2nd row
Join back and front shoulder pieces together working like the 3rd row.
Second back shoulder part
Attach the yarn or sl.st. down to 49th row of the back part.
50th row – (ch1, sk2, sc3, ch1, sk2, sl.st.1) x 5, ch2, sk2, trc3, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] to end + RC1
51, 53 rows = 3rd row
52, 54 rows = 2nd row
Step 5
Second front part
Begin the 2nd front part as your back part: skip 7 chs from the back part and attach the yarn.
34th row – ch2, sk2, [trc3, ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2] x 3, trc1, sk1, trc1
35th row – h2ch, sc1, [ch2, sk2, trc1, ch2, sk2, sc3] to end + RC4
36th row – h6ch, trc2, [ch2, sk2, sc1, ch2, sk2, trc3] x 2, sk2, dc1
37th row = 3rd row
38th row = 2nd row
Alternate the 37th and 38th rows until you crochet 50 rows as for the first front part.

Hi Vijaya mariadas,
Hi Vijaya mariadas,
The number of chains to start with depends on her chest circumference and your gauge. If you match your gauge to mine, and her chest circumference is about 28 inches, then you may start with 113 chs or (18 x 6) + 5. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana when I crochet 2nd & 3rd rows seven times each plus the first 3 rows that means I crocheted 17 rows, so I don't understand why Step 2 begins with 30th row. Please explain . Thanks. Shanie

After I repeated the 2nd & 3rd rows seven times, I continued the pattern using a smaller size crochet hook until I crocheted 29 rows. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana
I love this cardigan and I want to do this in XXL size please help me with the numbers
Sana replied on Permalink
Hi Jumana Fawmi,
Hi Jumana Fawmi,
For the size XXL, I would work about 32 repeats or (32 x 6) + 5 = 197 chains. This number will depend on your gauge and how you want it fits you snugly or loosely. Happy crochet!
