This stylish open-front cardigan is the perfect layering piece, featuring a delightful textured finish that’s as fun to crochet as it is to wear. It’s meticulously crafted in separate pieces and then seamed together to create a silhouette that’s both cozy and polished. The alternating rhythm of double crochet and decorative clusters gives the fabric a lovely depth, while the tidy double crochet edging—complete with sweet matching button covers—adds a touch of handmade charm.
