Free Crochet Cardigan Patterns

When you purchase through links on my site, I may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Today we have a pattern request from a reader who is looking for cardigans she can crochet for children and adults. I have included 3 different options (in both children and adult sizes) below.

Each of these designs is available as a free crochet pattern and can be downloaded as a PDF.

I have included the yarn weight, hook size and pattern sizes available for each style of cardigan to make it easier for you to decide which one will work best for you!
