Free Crochet Cardigan Patterns

A crochet cardigan is a type of knitted or crocheted garment that is like a sweater, but has an open front. While many cardigans are knitted, it is easy to make a perfectly cozy cardigan with crochet as well!

If you are a beginner, don’t be afraid of a project the size of a cardigan. Even beginner crocheters can make projects like this because most are not much more complex than a scarf or a blanket – just a bit bigger.

In fact, many of the cardigan designs here are made of simple rectangles that are pieced together at the end. Some patterns are, in fact, crocheted seamlessly together in one piece, but those patterns are kept simple on purpose.

All the free crochet cardigan patterns in this collection are perfect for any beginner or intermediate crocheters and include cardigans for spring, summer or winter.
