CROCHET CARDIGAN PATTERN FOR SIZES XS-5X! The Bookworm Cardigan is a comfy and relaxed-fit crochet cardigan with a tweedy old-fashioned texture that evokes the smell of leather-bound books and the sound of turning pages. Perfect for any self-professed bookworm, this beginner-friendly cardigan is easy to wear for those long reading sessions on your couch at home or out and about running errands. Oversized pockets and a wide collar finish this long, slouchy cardigan for a stylish addition to your garment favorites!

This easy crochet design works up fast with basic stitches, simple construction, and minimal seaming. The main body of the cardigan is split for the armholes and seamed at the shoulders, and sleeves are crocheted into the cardigan in turned decreasing rounds. Ribbed cuffs and a wide collar are also crocheted directly onto the design, leaving the pockets to be made separately and seamed on at the end.
