How to Crochet the Crossover Wrap Cardigan
The crochet stitches used to crochet the Sandy Sea Shells Wrap Cardi include the Double Crochet crochet (dc) and the single crochet (sc) stitches. These crochet stitches are beginner-friendly and work up quickly. The double crochet stitches are crocheted into the spaces rather than the stitch to give the body a unique texture. The sleeves use a combination of these two crochet stitches as well as chains to create the beautiful shell stitch lace pattern. The crochet cardigan pattern includes women’s sizing from XS-5X. Sizing is based on women’s standard sizing index with no ease to a 2″ positive ease. The Crossover Wrap Cardigan PDF pattern includes customization tips.

Ties are added to secure the panels at the back. The sleeves are worked separately and seamed to the body. The pattern is written for the smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses ( ). If there is only 1 number, it applies to all sizes. Step by step video tutorial is provided on our YouTube channel for size medium.

To prevent hand pain, I crochet with Furls Crochet Hooks. I can spend hours crocheting with these hooks.
