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.

Since you work more repeats
Since you work more repeats for your size, you need to use more repeats for each front part and back part accordingly. I would suggest using 5 repeats/[ ] for each front part and 14 repeats/[ ] for the back part. Wrap the garment around your upper arm to estimate how many repeats you need to use for each sleeve. Happy crochet!

Hi Sana I started this
Hi Sana I started this cardigan using the same no of stiches as yr pattern, but when I finished the sleeves I found the armhole of my cardigan was bigger than the sleeve . Can you please advice . Thanks

Hi SSeaman18,
Hi SSeaman18,
Sleeves should be slightly smaller than armholes. However, if you believe that your armholes are much bigger than the sleeves, you may frog off one or two rows from both front and back shoulder parts (to make armholes smaller) or use a larger size crochet hook to widen the end of each sleeve. Happy crochet!

How would I go about making
How would I go about making this a cropped cardigan? I love your patterns an videos. Thank you for all the help you give us.

Hi Judsretired,
Hi Judsretired,
To make it as a cropped top, I would work the first 3 rows (step1) only, then skip step 2, and continue the pattern exactly starting from the step 3. Happy crochet!
