The Festival Cardigan Crochet Pattern

The Festival Cardigan is crocheted in a seamless style, meaning you work from the top down without needing to sew panels together. The yoke is first created to fit snugly around the neckline, and from there, the body and sleeves are worked directly onto the piece. The simple yet beautiful button closure adds an extra touch of practicality, making it easy to get on and off for children.

The real star of this design, however, is the fringe, which adds a playful and fun element to the cardigan. It’s a modern twist on a classic crochet sweater that’s bound to catch attention.
