Granny Square Cardigan Crochet Pattern PDF | Cropped Patchwork Cardi Jacket, US Terms, Worsted

🧶 Granny Square Cardigan — PDF Crochet Pattern
Cropped patchwork cardigan • Ribbed cuffs, hem and front bands • Worsted, 5 mm hook • Intermediate

The joins are the point. Most granny square garments show every seam — a ridge here, a lumpy corner there — and that is what makes a handmade cardigan look handmade in the wrong way. This one is assembled with mattress stitch, which pulls the squares together edge to edge so the seam disappears into the fabric. What you get is a patchwork that reads as one garment rather than as thirty pieces held together.

The other decision that matters: the cream is a colour block, not a border. Instead of framing every square, it takes whole squares of its own, which is why this reads closer to a pieced jacket than to a traditional granny cardigan.
