Country Cute Cardi
Get your little girl ready for the cooler weather with this adorable Country Cute Cardi. Cardigans are a great layering piece for all ages and can be dressed up or dressed down. This easy crochet pattern is worked up using Lion Brand Homespun Yarn in any color of your choice. Because of the bulky weight of this particular yarn, this free crochet pattern works up quickly and easily. Sizing instructions are included for children ages 6-12.

Note: Pattern is written for smallest size with changes for larger sizes in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes. To follow pattern more easily, circle all numbers pertaining to your size before beginning.
GAUGE:
10 dc + 6 rows = 4 in. (10 cm)
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to match the gauge, try using a smaller size hook; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
dc2tog (dc 2 sts together) (Yarn over, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through 2 loops) twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook – 1 st decreased.
NOTES
- Cardi is worked in one piece beg at lower edge.
- When Cardi has reached armhole length, chs are worked for sleeves. You’ll need a separate strand of yarn to make the sleeve chs, so before beginning, cut a length about 3 yds. (3 m) long, and set it aside until you reach the yoke portion of the Cardi.

I went to the Lion Brand website in search of additional pictures of the country cute cardi but to no avail, there were no other pictures. I like this cardi but I am one of those that needs pictures to really get a clue as to the final result. I hope, in the future, folks that take the time to make this will post more pictures.

This would be a great addition to any young girls wardrobe. I love this color but I could see this made in color of the school that the child attends. This cardi would pair nice with pants, skirt/top or dress.

The pattern is not available. I have adobe reader, when I click on the link 'click her for crochet pattern', the browser just takes me to 15 free crochet scarf patterns.

I am having the same problem. I've been looking for a pattern like this for my little granddaughter in Florida and thought I'd found the one....THEN, can't get it. Why show it if it isn't available?

Why would I want to download a book? Use all that paper and ink to print? Us the space in my computer memory? All I want is 1 (one) pattern, not 7 or 8.

Too bad when you click the link to the actual pattern for this "Country Cute Cardi" you just get a page with a bunch of supposedly free pattern books etc, none of which appear to have this cardi pattern. It's really, really sad how often this happens, and attaching a hyperlink is sooo easy, that I cannot believe these are happening by accident. A really cruddy type of "bait and switch".
