If you’re just starting out in crochet, the idea of crocheting a whole sweater can seem intimidating.

Mirage cardigan is seamless raglan cardigan, worked from top to bottom in one piece and then sleeves are crocheted directly onto the body. It works up pretty quickly. It is also a great pattern for an advanced beginner as it involves basic construction techniques and basic stitches.

Sizing:
The cardigan has 2” to 5” positive ease. But if you prefer more loose, oversized cardi, make a larger size or use larger hook than that required to obtain gauge.
