How to crochet boat neck top with wide rib edge and cap sleeves | Buy Y2K off shoulder crochet top with straight neckline

For this pattern you’ll need to calculate yourself approx. how much yarn you typically use for a top. I used 162 g for my S/M top. If you make yours in a bigger/smaller size or longer/shorter, you’ll need to add/remove from those 4 balls. The pattern uses your own measurements – try on as you go for best results. Buy access once to get the pattern. It’s a simple pattern and you try it on as you go.

This is a pattern for a chunky cropped cardigan made all in one (no separate panels that need to be put together).

I used 12 yarn balls at 50 g = 90 m (aran/worsted). 100% wool and a 10 mm hook. So if you are a L/XL maybe try using 13-14 yarn balls, or if you are XS/S use 10-11 yarn balls.

My tension: 10 cm = 7 rows x 8 stitches

You also get my and my cardigans measurements – so you can follow along with my sticth and row count.
