BESTO CARDIGAN is an oversized cardigan made of granny squares. The granny squares are crocheted in double strand blow yarn, which makes it both very light and super soft!
16 granny squares are crocheted which are then crocheted together. Finally, i-cord edges are knitted all around and the cardigan is topped with a sweet bow of i-cord cords.
The pattern contains detailed step-by-step descriptions with pictures, and the recipe is written without abbreviations and diagrams. This makes the pattern beginner-friendly so that everyone can make it.
