    Beautiful! This casual bat-sleeved crochet sweater is made from a simple rectangle. Free beginner crochet sweater pattern and tutorial from Make and Do Crew.

    This free beginner crochet sweater pattern is part of a collaboration with Lion Brand Yarns. This post contains affiliate links.

    If you’ve never made a crochet garment before, that’s going to change right here. And if you’re already the Michael Phelps of crochet sweaters, this might just be the sweater that you judge all sweaters against from here on out. It’s just that cozy. easy. comfy. effortless. 

    Read on for all the yarn details and super easy construction or scroll down for Part 1 of this free beginner crochet sweater pattern! (Part 2 can be found here.)

    A Sweater Crocheted From a Rectangle

    Despite the sophisticated-looking stitch texture, dolman sleeves and ribbed collar, this beginner crochet sweater is based entirely on a crochet rectangle. Yup, just like that simple scarf you probably made when you learned how to crochet. If you can crochet a washcloth, you can make this easy crochet cardigan.

    Quick Video Overview of The Pattern

    Wanna see exactly how a rectangle turns into a drapey, flowy cocoon of softness? I put together a quick one minute pattern overview that you’ll show you start-to-finish how simple this cardigan is to bring to life. Hit play below and I’ll walk you through it!

    (If you have an ad-blocker running, you’ll need to disable it in order to view the video.)

    Since I’ve seen how many of you have successfully whipped up chunkier crochet cardigans using the free Dwell Sweater pattern and video tutorial, I knew that a lighter weight, flowy and slightly longer cardigan pattern wouldn’t be far behind. (I mean, I had to jump on the opportunity to design a beginner crochet sweater pattern with a section “tush extension.” Obviously.)

    Whether you pair it with jeans or leggings, this easy crochet project will be a wearable blanket of softness and warmth–like a hug you made yourself!

    Easy Construction, Simple Stitches

    While the weave of the Dwell Sweater includes some chain spaces, in this Habitat Cardigan I intentionally used a very simple stitch pattern that won’t let much breeze in while you wear it. In fact, I’ve already got a video tutorial for the Suzette stitch (aka Grit Stitch) used in the main rectangle of this sweater and a bag pattern that uses it too.

    And if you’re a dedicated video-tutorial-crocheter, you can order your Lion Brand Heartland yarn now and then start watching the full Habitat Cardigan video tutorial to get acquainted with the pattern. Lion Brand has also put together a handy kit that includes all the yarn you’ll need, plus a digital PDF of the pattern that you can grab right here!

    Heartland yarn is soft, machine washable and so drapey. Watch the pattern preview video above to see how beautifully the Habitat Cardi flows thanks to this relaxed yarn.

    Print + Crochet in Comfort

    I know many of us like to crochet from the comfort of our couches so I always offer a low-cost, printable PDF version of my free patterns. If you’d prefer to work from a nicely-formatted printout instead of a laptop, tablet or phone, I think you’ll find this PDF a really valuable upgrade.

    Because the Habitat Cardigan pattern has a few distinct steps and a lot of photo tutorials, I divided the free pattern into two parts. (This is Part 1. Find Part 2 here.)

    Because of the oversized style of the sweater, choosing a size is less about exact chest size and more about how loose you want your sweater to fit.

    We'll email you this so you can come back to it later!

    Sweater can be easily modified to accommodate body type by adjusting measurements of the main rectangle.

    For example, if you’re tall and narrow, you may choose to follow the S/M rectangle width instructions and the M/L rectangle height instructions. If you’re shorter and curvier, you may choose to follow the L/XL rectangle width instructions and the S/M rectangle height instructions.

    In order to make pattern modification straightforward, in the ad-free, printable PDF I’ve created a chart with pattern sizing details clearly laid out in a handy little chart. (This is the same info included in this free written pattern, just visualized in a simple chart format in the PDF.) You can purchase the ad-free, printable PDF of the complete pattern.

    How to crochet the Habitat Cardigan Sweater pattern from Make and Do Crew.

    Rectangle Body of Sweater

    Notes:
    • To adjust the width of the sweater, chain a multiple of 2 + 1, plus 2 for the foundation chain (i.e. any odd number)

    • A video tutorial for the Suzette Stitch (aka the Grit Stitch) used in this rectangle can be found here.

    Ad-free, printable download of the Habitat Cardigan by Make & Do Crew displayed on a tablet.

    Use larger hook.

    Foundation Row: Ch 99 (105,109, 113, 117).

    Row 1: Sk first 2 ch (counts as 1 sc), dc in next ch, *sk next ch, sc and dc in next ch; rep from * until 2 ch remain, sk next ch, sc in last ch; turn. (97, 103, 107, 111, 115)

    Row 2: Ch 1 (counts as 1 sc), dc in first st, *sk next dc, sc and dc in next sc; rep from * until 2 sts remain, sk next dc, sc in tch; turn.

    Repeat Row 2  56 (62, 64, 64, 64) times. This should end with a WS row.

    Rectangle should measure approximately:
    S/M: 38.5 x 22”
    M/L: 41 x 25”
    L/XL: 43 x 26”
    XL/2XL: 44.5 x 26”
    2XL/3XL: 46 x 26”
    *Note that these measurements will vary a bit because the stitch is quite stretchy and it’s hard to lay the rectangle out to measure without stretching it a bit in one direction or the other. A small variation in measurement (1-2”) shouldn’t compromise the fit of your sweater.

    Seaming Rectangle

    If you like to learn visually, the Habitat Cardigan video tutorial will walk you through each step of this section.

    Lay rectangle flat so that WS is facing up. (Tail from foundation chain should be in bottom corner on same side as your dominant hand.) Fold rectangle in half so that foundation row and final row of the rectangle are touching. RS should now be facing out and the stripes of the rows of crocheting should be running horizontally as in the photo below. Pin in place along side seams using stitch markers or safety pins.

    Place a stitch marker 4.75 (5.5, 5.5, 6.25, 6.25)” in from the folded crease on each side. This distance will remain unsewn and form the armhole opening.

    Using a tapestry needle and a single strand of MC yarn, begin seaming the rectangle, working from the corners to the folded crease. Take care to keep rows of crocheting lined up on either side of seam. Stop at the stitch marker. Repeat for second seam. See photos below.

    Lay your new shrug-lette flat as pictured in blog post above. The last row of the rectangle should be at the bottom and the foundation chain at the top.

    Place a stitch marker in the single crochet stitch that falls at the intersection of the bottom of the shrug and the perpendicular collar edge. Repeat on second side.

    Tush Extension

    Notes:
    • This section begins by working into the bottom of the sweater between the stitch markers, which is the last row of the rectangle you worked before seaming. See photo below.

    • The tush extension is worked the same for all sizes, but if you’d prefer an extra long cardigan, you may work additional rows. End with a RS row.

    Use larger hook. With RS of fabric facing you, attach yarn into the sc marked stitch on same side of the rectangle as your dominant hand (right maker for right-handed crocheters, left marker for left-handed crocheters).

    Row 1: Ch 1 (counts as 1 sc), dc in same sc yarn attached in, *sk next dc, sc and dc in next sc; rep from * until 2 sts remain until marker, sk next dc, sc in marked sc; turn.

    Row 2: Ch 1 (counts as 1 sc), dc in first st, *sk next dc, sc and dc in next sc; rep from * until 2 sts remain, sk next dc, sc in tch; turn.

    Repeat Row 2 11 more times to create a total of 13 rows of the extension. This should end with a RS row. Do not fasten off.

      Hi Jess,

      Love is not a strong enough word for how I feel about this pattern. It’s incredible! Thank you thank you thank you! I’ve made two – one for me and one for my daughter. It’s the first thing I wrap myself up in when I first wake up. I used Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca. Mine is the charcoal grey and my daughter’s is olive (dark) green. This yarn is awesome. I throw it in the washer and dryer (gasp) and it comes out beautifully. Does not pill. Thanks Jess, for your easy-to-follow and beautiful patterns. I’m making your brunch hexagon sweater next (Touch of Alpaca, Teal) and can hardly WAIT to get started.

      Reading through the comments I still have a question I am having trouble with my gauge swatch. I went to size hook 4mm still cannot meet 10 sts in a grit stitch; width I go over the 10 row for 4′. I am afraid to go smaller and my cardigan to be too small. When I did a gauge swatch with hook size 6.5mm I meet the width to 4′ with 10 rows but not the length reach 8 sts at 4′. Any suggestions?

      Hi Jess! I’m excited to work on this cardigan, but I keep running into what seems to be a popular issue… first off: 9! The gauge swatch, when you say 10stsx10rpws, do you mean to start the “pattern” with 10 chains to start, and progress with the Suzette stitch for 10 rows? That is what I did, and I came out with a swatch that was 2.5 inches in width, and 3.5 inches in height.. this after I crocheted 28 rows of the pattern to realize that my width was only 27 inches, rather that the 38.5 indicates for the S/M.. I’m crocheting with a medium weight (4) yarn from lion brand, and the 6.5mm hook, and Very loosely to boot! Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Why would my chain/width be so much shorter than it should be??

        March 09, 2018 at 4:15 pm

        Hey Zoe,

        Gauge can be pretty personal, so you def are smart to check it. Don’t be afraid to change your hook size if you need to. The most impt gauge to get right is the width. So before doing the super long chain for the actual sweater, I’d make a gauge swatch bigger than the listed gauge, so you can really measure the middle four inches. Like maybe make it 20-ish stitches wide. Then work it in the suzette stitch. Change your hook up if you need to to achieve the correct gauge. Then go ahead and start the rectangle. If, once you finish all the rectangle rows in the pattern, your rectangle is too short, simply add more rows until it’s the right height.

        Does that make sense? This pattern is pretty forgiving size-wise, but you want to get in the ballpark so it can fit as pictured in the photos.

        Jess

      Hi Jess!,,, I am loving this pattern!, Its going really fast,,, super fast, ,, i made a boo boo, and didnt read the pattern about repeating it 64 times,,, How do you know when you have 64 rows?,,, should i do this by measurements instead? I cannot tell where my rows are lol. might need some help on that one lol if possible. Thanks for the pattern!

        Hey!

        It can be tricky to count the rows on some projects, can’t it? For this one, each sort of thicker visual row you see is actually two rows of crocheting. So when you stand back a bit from the project, you should be able to see those slight rows form and you can count each of them as two rows in the pattern. You’ll want 64 total rows of crocheting (so 32 visual rows), but more importantly, you want your rectangle to be about 25.5″ tall. If it’s a little short, just add more rows until it’s 25.5″, making sure to work an even number of total rows. Hope that makes sense! :)

      I’m using Heartland’s Great Smoky Mountains for my cardigan and I noticed this particular color doesn’t seem to have the nice smooth sheen or drape that the other Heartland colors have. I’m wondering if perhaps I should try a different yarn because it is a little stiff. Did you notice the differences in the colorways?

        Oooh, hmm. That’s really interesting. I actually haven’t tried that color, but all the shades I’ve tried have been quite soft and drapey. That said, I have def noticed what you’re talking about with different lines of yarn, so I think it’s entirely possible. Have you made it really far into the pattern already?
