This cute little cardigan came together quickly. It uses 3 skeins of Malabrigo Rios Worsted weight yarn. Each skein is 210 yards and I used almost all of it. Unfortunately it does not have a dye lot or a colorway and I can't remember where I picked it up.

I've been into the 3/4 length sleeves lately. In this particular case it was necessary because I definitely didn't have enough yarn for full sleeves.




For this pattern I used a 6 mm hook.
Stitches:
ch - chain
sk st
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet

Back Panel
ch 70
Row 1: dc in the 4th chain from the hook, *ch2, sk 2 st, dc, dc. Repeat from * across, ch 2 and dc in the last stitch
Row 2: ch 3, dc in the ch space, * ch2, 2 dc in the chain space. Repeat from * across, ch 2 and dc in the last stitch
Repeat row 2 until its 32 rows long (or your desired length).

Side Panels - Make 2
ch 30
Row 1: dc in the 4th chain from the hook, *ch2, sk 2 st, dc, dc. Repeat from * across, ch 2 and dc in the last stitch
Row 2: ch 3, dc in the ch space, * ch2, 2 dc in the chain space. Repeat from * across, ch 2 and dc in the last stitch
Repeat row 2 until its 32 rows long (or your desired length).






Sew together the top of the sweater and down the sides leaving 7-8 inches for the sleeve opening.

For the sleeves you're going to repeat the same pattern, but alternate directions.
Row 1: ch 3, dc in the ch space, * ch2, 2 dc in the chain space. Repeat from * across, ch 2 and sl st to join
I picked up 11 of the dc around. Repeat row 2 until you have 15 rows. For each row change directions so that you have a chain space.

Turn the cardigan inside out.
On the edge of the sleeve: Row 1: *ch 4, sc in the chain space. Repeat from * around, sc at the start.
Row 2-3: Repeat row 1.




Collar

Row 1: * ch 4, sc in the chain space. Repeat from * around, sc to end.
