Learn How to Crochet a Hexagon Cardigan
This granny stitch sweater starts with two simple hexagons, which you’ll transform into the sleeves and chest of a modern cardigan.
And while the original is one of our most popular designs, we’ve just revamped the entire pattern!
Our Most Popular Sweater, Made Better
The new and improved Campfire Cardigan pattern now features expanded sizing (plus sizes and kids sizes!) and instructions for adding pockets and a professional-looking ribbing.
I’ve loaded the pattern with suggestions on how to customize it for your particular body. Since you can try it on as you go, it’s a great first-sweater pattern for beginners.
