Hook size: 5.00 mm
See the thyme green cardigan I made: here.
See the tan and jade cardigan I made: here (6 mo).
Note: When I counted after row 6, I had 92 stitches instead of 97. (This is the 3rd time I've used this pattern and each time I have the same problem.) To compensate, follow the pattern as written, but make 6 bobble sets where it says to make 7. It should work out perfectly to the end of the row. (Also, crochet into the 19th stitch when you're making the armholes.)
Finishing edging:
- first row: (turn corner) *2 hdc for each bobble row and for each triple crochet row* up front edge
- top corner: (after 2 hdc) ch, hdc, ch, sc
- top collar: *sc*
- second row (front edging): *hdc in back loop only* (no button holes, if buttons can fit through hdc sts)
- top corner: hdc, ch, sc
- top collar (second row): *sc, decrease after 3 sts*
Scalloped edging:
- pattern: here
- to start, sc to turn corner (no ch)
- only make 5 sts in each scallop
