Patchwork Cardigan is a relaxed crochet cardigan built from simple squares with a clear, graphic layout. The alternating colours create a structured grid that gives the cardigan its distinct look, while the ribbed edges and button band frame the shape and add a clean finish. The overall silhouette is loose and slightly oversized, making it easy to layer and wear.

The design focuses on repetition and modular construction. Each square is worked in rows using treble crochet and back loop stitches, creating a textured surface with subtle variation between panels. The squares are then assembled into front panels, back, and sleeves, allowing the construction to be broken down into manageable steps.

Patchwork Cardigan is crocheted as individual squares that are sewn together to form the garment. Once assembled, ribbed edges are worked along the front opening, neckline, and sleeves. Buttonholes are integrated into the front rib, and the cardigan is finished with a set of large buttons for a functional closure.
