The Everyday Ragg Cardigan has been a very popular community favourite, and for good reason. It is cozy, flattering, beginner-friendly, and incredibly wearable. This is one of those patterns you will want to make again and again… and I certainly have!
We recently remade the cardigan in Lion Brand Mandala Ombre in Harmony, and I am absolutely obsessed. The softness, the tonal shifts, the drape… it feels like wrapping up in a cloud. It has instantly become my go-to everyday layer.
Project Overview
The Everyday Ragg Cardigan is a timeless, cozy layering piece worked seamlessly from the top down using a raglan construction for an enjoyable, minimal finishing project. Designed with an oversized relaxed fit, classic button front, and roomy patch pockets, it blends comfort and function effortlessly. Crocheted in soft marled worsted weight yarn for beautiful texture and drape, this cardigan is easy to customize in length, and includes a full step by step video tutorial to guide you through the entire process.

Crochet Hooks Needed
Or use the size needed to obtain the pattern’s gauge. Not sure what gauge is? It’s an essential step to ensure your project turns out the correct size. You can read our free beginner’s guide to gauge for a full explanation.
Gauge
13 sts and 10 rows equal to 4″ in hdc with 6mm hook. You may need to adjust your hook size until you meet the pattern gauge.
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.
Additional Materials Needed
Construction Details
- Worked seamlessly from the top down
- Raglan yoke with easy-to-follow shaping
- Body worked in rows
- Sleeves worked in the round
- Ribbed trim and ribbed cuffs added last
- Optional pockets and button band for a finished look
The top-down method makes it simple to adjust fit, length, and sleeve length as you go.
