A classic crochet cardigan with a hint bomber jacket!
This is a timeless design that you’ll want to make again and again.

The main body is worked bottom up in one piece. The piece is then split to

Yarn quantities (both one colour & striped versions) are estimates based on calculations from a sample size. They have been rounded up slightly to make allowances for potential
differences in gauge.

Tension
Make a swatch of UK htr sts (US hdc) of at least 15cm square to obtain accurate gauge.
Garment sizing is based on the blocked tension.
Pre blocking measures: 17 sts and 13 rows over 10x10cm / 4x4 inches of htr sts.
Post blocking measures: 15.75 sts and 12 rows over 10x10cm / 4x4 inches.
