Beginner-Friendly Crochet Cardigan Tutorial - How to Make a Sweater From a Simple Rectangle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2024
- In this beginner crochet video tutorial, we will learn how to crochet a simple, chunky cardigan from a basic rectangle. Sizes Small-3X!
Creatively constructed from a simple rectangle, this flattering sweater comes together easily with zero shaping, increasing or decreasing.
Skills needed include double crochet and post stitches, although if you haven’t tried post stitches before, this is a “safe” project to give them a go as their use within is quite basic.
Once you have the basic repeat memorized, you’ll whiz through this pattern and have fun watching your new sweater take form right before your eyes.

I made this in about a week. I love it! It was my first garment. Thank you so much for the great video.
I made this last year for my Mom for a Christmas present and she loves it still! The pattern is SUPER easy and I love that there's a video tutorial! Love this pattern and will definitely be making another one this year.
Love how these cocoon cardigans create dolman-like sleeves. And pockets-YAY. Thanks
I really love the trick of constructing sweater out of rectangle. I'm just about to finish the Modern Draped Sweater. I picked slightly smaller size than I wished for so substituted for adding more rows in collar (now it looks like front and back is purposely different pattern, which gives it interest) also added pockets (Which the other tutorial doesn't have) and now I'm here to add different pattern sleeves.
This tutorial made me addicted to crochetting. This is my second sweater
Thank you for sharing this beautiful sweater pattern, I started making a shawl with pockets for my daughter with different stitches, then she had her heart set on a cardigan, so I used your assembly and she loves it! I am planning to make one of the other cardigans that you offer, they're all so beautiful!🥰
Great pattern with easy to follow instructions. Can't believe I did it. Actually used 2 strands of Roll with it Melange yarn and N hook. Turned out beautiful. Thank you!
Just finishing this love it only been crocheting for four months was really easy to follow thank you
What a brilliantly constructed sweater! I'm definitely going to give this a go, thank you 😊
Thank goodness for this video! I am a beginner and I even purchased the pattern. But I needed the video for the cross stitch and stitch placement.
I just finished this. I'm very happy. Thank you for the video and pattern.
Hi Jess. This is my next project. I'm trying to decide on a yarn & a color. i'm thinking yellow in support of the French. Just joined your crew and opened the archive. Wow! I'm making EVERYTHING! You are so precious to brag on your sister & design a room for her. Wish you were my sister. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. ☺️
This was super helpful, thank you! I'm a visual learner, I had some trouble figuring out the X row from the written pattern
Starting this now! I had to end up getting weight 4 yarn instead if 5 weight bc of financial reasons but... I'll still try! Thanks for posting!
I started this today I’m super excited.
OMG. I finally got it........so happy thanks so much for your video

Congratulations on your first sweater!! I'm so glad this tutorial helped you. Now, time to pick out your second sweater pattern...:)
Can you email the written pattern to me please bianca16296@gmail.com
I can't buy from where I live
Thank you so much for this pattern. I am going to try this with a bulky size 6 yarn. Hope it turns out as well as yours.
Hello I was wondering if the weight 6 worked out for you? I am struggling on finding a good quality yarn in weight 5. Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing, I'll be making these all year long now!!!
That's great! A new color for every season :)
Just finished my cardigan & i really like the way it looks. Depending on how tight you crochet you may have to add more rows to make it look like the picture. Also, it will be difficult to complete withour the written pattern which she has posted for free. But if you are a beginner or have trouble reading patterns this may not be for you.
thank you!! amazing pattern
Ever since i first saw this i wanted to do it but i always find an excuse or life happened now life happened again..quarantine so i will try it second attempt.
Thank you for sharing!
Samee! I've had this yarn for like three yearns now and quarantine has made me do so many crochet projects so I'm tackling this one next :)
Made this and love it!!
Thank you 😘Si nice 🌹❤️We need more😍
What an adorable show would love to try to make thank you for sharing was wondering if it would change the pattern any where a lot of the times where you are stating yarn over you pull from the back of the yarn and don't actually yarn over should we follow the way that you crochet this or should we follow your spoken directions?
I'm adding this to my projects to do. I'm looking to fo thid in a 4x -5x. So help with foundation chain of how many? Thanks
Thank you for this tutorial, will be going on my to do list.
You're welcome, Sonja!
Love it!!
Would I be able to use size 6 super bulky on the wool ease. We don't have the *tonal* type for lionbrand here in Australia...
Thank you...
Beautiful work! Thank you so much!
Thank you!! I hope you get to make it. :)
Wow love this
Grazie del tutorial molto preciso e chiaro. Bellissimo cardigan
Qué hermoso te quedó. Felicidades.🙂🙋
Patty GV holaaa!!en que momento hizo los puños!!!?? Como se hace??
Amazing, am very new to crochet but your detailed tutorial gives me the will to give a try... will surely tag you if I manage to finish it. Thanks xoxo new subscriber here ❤
Welcome to the crochet world! We are super excited to have here with Make and Do Crew! You can totally make this sweater. If you run into issues, feel free to reach out, or ask in our Facebook group. There are a lot of good helpers there! :)
i’m using caron big cakes with a 6.5mm hook to make mine so since its a lot smaller yarn i’m guessing i just chain until it measures 44” long for the foundation row, then continue crocheting the pattern to however big i want the square?! i love this pattern, thank you!
It’s so interesting that you do a yarn under instead of yarn over on your double crochets. 🤔
This is a beautiful sweater and I’m excited to try it. 😊
I wondered if anyone else had noticed the yarn under while watching. I'm not alone. 🙂
I just want to sew one with hoodie fabric and a HUGE hood! Can I get the measurements for the square and length of sleeves and thickness of finishing edge?
I love your sweater instruction, super simple and clear.
I wondering how much yarn, do I need for small sweater
Hey Jennifer, Thank you! I'm so glad you find them helpful! I've listed the yarn amounts you need for each size of the sweater in the free written pattern which is link above this comment area in the video description box. Happy crocheting!
I love the pattern and i followed your steps but for a larger size and finally when I am wearing it the collar ends did not match the back it is just taller from sides and with a triangle shape will you help me to tell me what i should do to adjust the sides
i like your cardigans i will try those for my daughter thanks
I don't normally use wool or chunky yarn but this tonal has me rethinking the whole idea lol
Ok so I’ve made the sweater with a regular double stitch for 2 rows and a single for 1 because I wanted a warmer less holy sweater. Turned out great. However the batwing style sleeve is a bit restrictive in the range of motion. I dont know if that’s because I made it thicker, or the shape, or both. But It won’t work for me at my job but my friend who has a desk job was more than happy to buy it from me :)
Love it
Hola muy lindo el punto y tu trabajo, podrías decirme cuantas cadenas urdiste? No alcanzo a entender y cuantos cms tejiste? Gracias . Saludos desde Antofagasta . Chile
Thank you very very much. I love you))
This looks amazing, can't wait to make it, can you tell me how much yarn do I need to buy?
Thank you so much. Now i can make somthing i can wear instead of a Poncho 😊💞💞🐞
Yay! Ponchos are great too, but this will be extra cozy!
I love it!!

Thanks for the Video
Beautiful.
hello am starting and i wanted to know how many chains for a large
I’m struggling with row 2 and how you do the dc in the back? I have redone it 15 times. I don’t know why I can’t get it?
Hi jess would you advise on sizes for 8year old please thank you
Lovely ..another beautiful cardigan
Thanks Sharon!
Do you think we'd be able to line this as a rectangle then seem it up to form the sweater at the end and do the collar and sleeves after too? Like just a regular rectangle fabric inside as lining
Should I block the rectangle before making the collar and sleeves?
Can someone help me...?
SUPER BEGINNER !! How many square windows should I have in each row if I am making the L/XL size? I know it says it should be the same in every row but I have a bunch of different numbers and I don't know which row is correct to keep following.
Thanks!
I would love to make this
But I am struggling with what kind of yarn and hook to get, plus understanding how much yarn to buy and how many stitches to use for the LG or xl
Please could you post the foundation chain for x1 size
I have Bernat baby marly yarn in 10.5 oz/ 300g 221 yards. I am wondering how many skins will I need to make a large to xl
Hi I love your pattern. I have DK weight yarn. Can you advise how many chains I should do to achieve this?
Could you maybe please suggest how to do measurements/how many chains to do for like a toddler size?? I want to crochet a set for me and my mini me!
Why didn't it work?!
I followed instructions exactly as u said and it went so small so i made too many more rows and it ends with totally another one i didn't like
I'm struggling with this too
Me encanto hermoso mil gracias!!!
Muchas gracias Yudy, y de nada! :)
Yudy Rodriguez hola qué tal me gustaría invitarte a mi canal de tejido a crochet en español. Soy ely conriv 😆 y soy de México 😀
How many do i chain for size 3 xl can you please help me ? Thank you in advance !!!
Oh man, I so wanted to make this sweater, I got to the 4th row and was done. Just was not easy for me. But it’s a beautiful sweater.
May I suggest to try a stitch or stitches yuh ou are more comfortable with, then apply the same assembly 🙂
I couldn’t get past row three.
Can anyone help me please? I’m on the 4th pattern repeat but I have 2 windows less than the previous rows. I’ve unpicked back and to the previous windows but I’m still 2 less 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Am I seeing this wrong or do you do the double crochet and correctly it should be pull through two Loops yarn over and pull through the next two. I keep watching it it looks like you pull through two and then you just pull through too but it doesn't look like you grab the yarn and my confused?
I'm working on this sweater (thanks for the helpful video!) And have the stitches down, I'm just having trouble with the ends of the rows. My edges are not straight. I've gone over the video slowly many times so I'm hoping making some tweaks will help. I don't really understand whether to end rows by crocheting IN turning chains or in the hole/gap.
Crochet in the hole/gap, not the turning chain. The turning chain is needed to determine the height of the next row and is usually considered a stitch, so if you crochet in the turning chain, your rows are going to look wonky.
If I were to use size 6 super bulky yarn, would it come out looking the same if I do the same pattern? And how many skeins do you think I would need? Only because there’s a sale on super bulky yarn right now and I can’t afford the other atm :/
couldn't you just do regular fpdc and bpdc for the cuffs, instead of the rows of sc and then rows of alternating sc and fpdc?
Bellissimo!!! Con quante catenelle si inizia, o quanti centimetri? Grazie
Love this sweater❤How many stitches for sizes small and medium please?🙏🏻
This is gorgeous! Wool Ease Tonal is discontinued. Does anyone have suggestions for a comparable yarn?
I'm making my one with lion brand thick-and-quick which can be bought at lincraft and spotlight in Australia (though lincraft is cheaper)
hello, this is beautiful!! I wonder, is it something you do on purpose to take the yarn the way you do when you make single crochet and the post stitches ? because I've never seen this way to do it before... I use to always get my yarn over from back to front. Hope you understand because I'm french...
Hi Celine! I think I do understand your question. As far as I know, that it totally personal preference. I was actually discussing this with my mom recently because she does it the other way. Even though she's the one who taught me to crochet, I do it opposite! Either way, we end up with the same result. :)
I really want to make it
I’m having a terrible time finding the turning chain! Can you help? Love it if I ever manage to finish. Lol
Beautiful work!! Just wondering where I'm new at it....what do you think of me doing this sweater in an easier stitch for me?
I think this sweater could be done with a whole bunch of different kinds of stitches. Just as long as the rectangle you end up with will fit your body shape. Some stitches might hang looser or tighter so it might impact the fit of the sweater.
it is very pretty, but I am afraid to do it, because I don't feel it is so friendly beginner... I will watch the video several times to decide if I am able to crochet it.
Hey Claudia, I can see why it may *seem* intimidating, but I promise that once you have the basic stitch pattern (which I go over step-by-step in the video), you'll be off to the races! The sweater body is comprised entirely of that stitch, with no increasing or decreasing. :)
hi!! I played the video twice and now it seems not so difficult!!! I will make it because I love the sweater!!! I will try to let you know how I do :)
That's why I gave up crochet and took up knitting
Claudia la Norteñita It is definitely not for beginners. I've been crocheting for years and never saw this x stitch. Too many fancy stitches today, thanks but I'll stick to the original!!
It is really easy. I've made several of them.
I never make sweater but I really want this one ❤️ I just don't know how many meters of yarn I should order? And with how many loops I should start 🤔help me please
I made this in the small size with the right hook but it’s HUGE I’ll have to double check the size of yarn I used
I am working from the printed pattern and just finished the rectangle and decided to check the video and in your video you say to end on row 2 but the instructions don't state that.
Greetings, I would love to make this but use a dk or 4 weight yard, any advice?
Is there anywhere to find the pattern? It seems to be missing from the site.
