Overall Pattern Notes
- If you’re new to reading crochet patterns, check out more info.
- Instructions are written with the stitch count for the smallest size first and each larger size following in parentheses, for example: XS/S (S/M, M/L, L/1X, 1X/2X, 2X/3X, 3X/4X and 4X/5X). It can be very helpful to highlight the numbers for your size before beginning the project. When only one number is given, it pertains to all sizes.
- Stitch counts at the end of each round are for given sizes.
- Chain 2 counts as stitch throughout.
- The collar ribbing is made using the same hook as the body of the cardigan. The sleeve and bottom ribbing are crocheted using a smaller hook.
!! Gauge Check !!
Please don’t skip this step, or you will risk your cardigan not fitting as expected. To check gauge, with larger hook:
Foundation Row: Ch 29.
Row 1 (WS): Sc in second ch from hook, sc in each ch to end of row; turn. (28 sts)
Row 2 (RS): Ch 2, *sk next 2 sts, 3 hdc in next st, rep from * until 3 sts remain, sk 2 sts, hdc in last st; turn. (8 hdc clusters, 2 hdc)
Row 3 (WS): Ch 2, 2 hdc in sp between first hdc and next hdc cluster, *3 hdc in sp between next two hdc clusters, rep from * to last sp, 2 hdc in last sp, hdc in top of tch; turn. (9 hdc clusters)
Row 4 (RS): Ch 2, sk first cluster, hdc cluster in sp between first and second hdc clusters, *hdc cluster in sp between next two hdc clusters, rep from * until one cluster remains, sk 2 hdc, hdc in top of tch; turn. (8 hdc clusters, 2 hdc)
Repeat Rows 3 and 4 ten more times for a total of 24 rows.
Measure center four inches of swatch vertically and horizontally . Compare to the pattern gauge listed above.
- If there are too many stitches in 4” horizontally, increase your hook size and re-swatch.
- If there aren’t enough stitches in 4” horizontally, decrease your hook size and re-swatch.
- If swatch is measuring too small vertically, make a deliberate effort to pull loops up a bit higher before completing each half double crochet.
- If swatch is measuring too large vertically, make an effort to work the loops of each half double crochet a little tighter.
- This video is incredibly helpful if you’re having trouble achieving the correct vertical gauge:

Bottom Ribbing
| 🧶 For a longer sweater: Consider working longer bottom ribbing. The purple sweater pictured uses 21 chain stitches to create a ribbing of 20 stitches along the bottom edge. NOTE: Making length adjustments will affect the amount of yarn needed to complete your project. |
With smaller hook:
Foundation Row: Ch 16.
Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook, sc in each ch to end of row; turn. (15 sts)
Row 2: Ch 1, scblo in each st to end of row; turn.
Repeat Row 2 [112 (128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224)] more times.

Sleeve Cuff Ribbing
- Ribbing is worked in rows perpendicular to sleeve edge. It is attached as it’s created by slip stitching to sleeve edge.
- Each single crochet is worked through the back loop only (blo) of the stitch in the previous row. On even rows only (those heading away from the sleeve), the last stitch of the row is worked through both loops.
- Pay attention to the RS/WS designation of row as it will help clarify which side of sweater is facing in each row.
- If shorter ribbing is desired, consider modifying Foundation Chain length to 7 ch. (This will create a bottom ribbing of 6 sts tall.)
With attached yarn and smaller hook:
Foundation Row: Ch 11.
Row 1 (RS): Sc in second ch from hook, sc in each ch to end of row, slst in next 2 sts along sleeve edge; turn. (10 sts)
Row 2 (WS): (Do not ch 1), sk both slst along sleeve edge, sc in the blo of each st until 1 st remains, sc through both loops of the last st; turn.
Row 3 (RS): Ch 1, sc though blo of each st to sleeve edge, slst to next 2 unworked sleeve sts; turn.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 around sleeve opening, ending on a WS row. This may require slip stitching only one stitch instead of two along sleeve on the final repeat. It’s fine to improvise here to ensure you end with a WS row. This will position the yarn at the end of the sleeve cuff. Do not fasten off.
Joining Cuff:
Turn sleeve inside out so WS is facing. Line up first and last rows of ribbing, with last row facing you. Slst through each stitch to close cuff, working through the outer loop of last row and one loop of foundation chain for each stitch. Fasten off at end of seam.
Repeat instructions for second sleeve.
Collar Ribbing
Even though the rest of the ribbing is done with smaller hook, larger hook is used for collar ribbing to prevent puckering of Front panels
As written, collar ribbing includes four buttonholes. If buttons aren’t desired, replace these rows with a Row 1 instead.
Right-handed crocheters: Attach yarn in bottom right corner of bottom ribbing.
Left-handed crocheters: Attach yarn in bottom left corner of bottom ribbing.
Foundation Row (WS): Ch 1, scblo in each st of bottom ribbing edge, *1 sc in each of next four row ends, 2 sc in next row end, rep from * around sweater fronts and back of neck to bottom ribbing of opposite side, scblo in each st of bottom ribbing edge; turn.
(Note: the stitch count of the above row is unimportant. What matters is that the single crochets are worked at a frequency that allows the front collar edge to lie flat and not pucker or curl. Adjust stitch frequency as necessary for your personal tension.)
Row 1 (RS): Ch 1, scblo in each st to end of row; turn.
Repeat Row 1 five more times for a total of 6 rows.
At this point, consider trying on cardigan to evaluate the ribbing width. If a wider ribbing is desired, add additional rows before moving onto the buttonhole row. (The six remaining buttonhole rows will add approx 1.5” to the ribbing width.) Make sure to end on an even (WS) row.
Row 7 (RS buttonhole row): Ch 1, scblo in first four sts, *ch 2, sk 2 sts, scblo in next 8 sts, rep from * twice more (3 buttonholes made), scblo in each st to end of row; turn.
Row 8 (WS): Ch 1, scblo in each st to ch2sp, sc in each ch of buttonhole, *scblo in each of next 8 sts, sc in each ch of buttonhole, rep from * two more times, scblo in each st to end of row; turn.
Row 9-12: Repeat Row 1.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Finishing
Weave in remaining ends: Learn more here.
Blocking: Once all ends are woven in, you may do a light steam blocking using either a steamer, an iron with steam setting or a spray bottle with water. Focus on any areas that aren’t laying as flat as you’d like, such as the sleeve decreases or front collar ribbing. Do not touch steamer or iron directly to yarn. Detailed info here.
Adding Buttons: Using thread that matches button color, sew buttons in place opposite buttonholes.
Throw on your Thicket Cardigan and show off your easygoing layer you just stitched up from scratch.
