Awesome Blossom is your go-to pattern if you like creating crochet garments without need of sewing. This cardigan is worked from the center-back out to the sides and sleeves. The sides on the body and the hood are joined using a crochet hook, eliminating the need for any sewing (except when attaching buttons). While the hood is a centerpiece of this design, there are some tips if you want to make your cardigan without it. Choose from sizes XS to 5XL for a perfect fit based on your body measurements and the preferred amount of ease. The instructions are written using standard American terms, along with crochet diagrams, step-by-step photos, and a conversion chart to UK terms. This pattern is professionally written, tested and tech-edited to make your crafting experience a breeze.
