With its tailored yet relaxed fit, the Men’s Cobblestone Cardigan offers ease of movement without feeling bulky.

Quebec Trip
Our trip to Montreal was the perfect setting to showcase the Cobblestone Cardigan crochet pattern. We wanted a backdrop that felt European, and Old Montreal delivered with its charming cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and lively atmosphere filled with street music, delicious food, and unforgettable culture. Travelling by VIA Rail made the journey stress-free, giving us more time to enjoy the beautiful streets of both Montreal and Quebec City.
Aaron was such a great sport modelling a men’s crochet cardigan in the summer heat, so we could capture this timeless design in the old-world setting that inspired it.
If you’ve been searching for a crochet sweater pattern for men, or a gender-neutral design that works for every wardrobe, the Cobblestone Cardigan is the perfect project. Whether you’re strolling through historic streets or layering up at home, this cardigan will be your go-to cozy piece season after season.

Size Chart & Yarn Requirements
Please note: This design offers a classic fit in sizes M–5X, XS and S sizes are a loose fit with positive ease. When selecting your size, refer to your preferred finished chest measurement for the best fit. For reference, the model is wearing a size Large with a 44″ Chest.
It’s always a good idea to have extra yarn on hand to ensure you don’t run short—especially if you plan to modify the length or make other adjustments to the original design.
Gauge
Suitable Yarn Substitutes for Starlette Ragg
If you’re considering using a different yarn weight, be aware that it may impact the final size and drape of the cardigan. If you can match the pattern’s gauge while maintaining a nice drape and flow, you can proceed without modifying the pattern. However, if your yarn works up significantly larger or smaller and gauge cannot be matched, you’ll either need to adjust the pattern accordingly or choose a different size.
To help meet gauge, try adjusting your crochet hook size. You might also find that switching to a different hook style or brand can improve accuracy. Remember, not all worsted weight #4 yarns are created equal—thickness, drape, and softness can vary widely between brands.
For your swatch, work 20 stitches by 15 rows in half double crochet (hdc). Measure the center of the swatch, avoiding edges for the most accurate reading. If you have too many stitches, switch to a larger hook; if you have too few, try a smaller one. You can also adjust your tension slightly—lengthening stitches by pulling up more or shortening them by tightening your grip.
