Crochet Cardigan Pattern PDF, Granny Stitch Daisy Cardigan, Balloon Sleeve, Women's XS–3X

DIGITAL CROCHET PATTERN PDF — NOT A FINISHED CARDIGAN

Create the cozy Harvest Meadow Daisy Cardigan, a relaxed women's granny-stitch cardigan featuring softly ballooned sleeves, cream ribbed edging, two functional crochet patch pockets, and three handmade crochet daisy buttons.

Designed in a warm cottage-inspired palette of oatmeal cream, soft sage, dusty rose, muted terracotta, and golden honey, this cardigan is ideal for autumn layering while still being wearable throughout the year.

The finished design has a relaxed drop-shoulder silhouette, open front, hip-length body, roomy sleeves, and a comfortable oversized-style fit. The pattern covers XS through 3X and uses U.S. crochet terminology.

The pattern is written with explicit size-specific counts, color placement, panel measurements, sleeve construction, pocket positioning, button placement, assembly instructions, blocking guidance, troubleshooting, and final quality-control checks. The construction intentionally keeps the main garment approachable: rectangular granny-stripe panels form the body and sleeves, followed by seaming and finishing.

YARN

Use smooth CYC #4 Medium / worsted-weight yarn. For the closest result to the photos, the pattern uses five coordinated shades:

Oatmeal Cream Soft Sage Dusty Rose Muted Terracotta Golden Honey

The PDF contains separate estimated yardage for every color and every size from XS through 3X.

YOU WILL LEARN / MAKE

The pattern walks you through the granny-stripe stitch repeat, gauge swatch, back and front panels, shoulder seams, armholes, balloon sleeves, gathered cuffs, ribbed hem, continuous front and neck band, granny patch pockets, crochet daisy buttons, button loops, assembly, blocking, fit adjustments, and final finishing.

The three decorative flowers are crocheted buttons rather than purchased plastic buttons, helping maintain the handmade botanical look of the finished cardigan.

GAUGE

4 granny groups = 4 in / 10 cm 6 granny rows = 4 in / 10 cm

Matching blocked gauge is important because both garment width and row height affect the finished sizing.

PLEASE NOTE

This listing is for a PDF crochet pattern only. No physical cardigan, yarn, crochet hooks, or other materials will be mailed.

Because yarn type, individual tension, blocking, and gauge can affect finished measurements, please make and block the included gauge swatch before beginning the full cardigan.

The written pattern uses American crochet terminology.
