[PDF] Milo Cardigan

The Milo Cardigan is a crochet cardigan worked with individual motifs that are joined together using the Join-As-You-Go (JAYG) method. The body and sleeves are made by arranging different motifs in the specified order, creating an airy lace-like texture throughout the garment.

After the motifs are joined to form the body and sleeves, the hem, front bands, neckline, collar, cuffs, and edging are worked separately. The collar is shaped with increases, and the front band includes buttonholes. The edges are finished with slip stitch edging for a neat and refined look.

The cardigan is finished with buttons at the front, then washed, blocked, and lightly pressed on the wrong side.

Please note that the finished measurements and yarn usage may vary depending on your individual crochet tension. We recommend checking your motif gauge before beginning the project.

Size Guide

Choose your size based on your preferred fit and finished chest circumference.
Because this cardigan is made with motifs, the finished size may vary depending on your tension and blocking.
