Crochet Sunflower Cardigan

"This vintage look crochet sunflower cardigan coat pattern is great for all the flower granny square lovers and for all those who love sunflowers and long hooded cardigans with side slits! I love these colors for a fall themed cardigan! The sunflower granny square is easy to make as it’s only 4 rounds. This free pattern is beginner friendly, comes in 9 sizes & includes a YouTube video tutorial & a layout diagram as well."

NotesPattern Overview – 8 Easy Steps

1. Make your first granny.
2. Join granny squares into columns (see diagram & instructions below).
3. Make two front pieces.
4. Begin the back piece and join with the front pieces.
5. Make the sleeves.
6. Make the hood.
7. Seam.

TIP : I think that your side slits will look best when they sit at the widest part of your hips or just below it!
