A statement plaid crochet cardigan with classic British-countryside attitude: clean lines, woven-plaid texture, and a timeless, wearable silhouette that layers easily season to season.

What you’ll make: A hip-length, buttoned DK-weight crochet cardigan with integrated pockets, vertical plaid achieved by post-work weaving, and a neat collar and front bands.
Sizing/Measurements: To fit bust 81–86 [91–97: 102–107] cm; actual size 115 [127: 139] cm; length 66 [68: 70] cm; sleeve seam 41 cm.
Yarn: DK-weight wool or wool-blend recommended (typical fibre mix: 100% wool, or 50/50 wool–acrylic for durability and easy care). Yardage varies by brand; see DK ball bands. Colours: Main shade (M) plus two contrasts (A, B).
Needles & notions: 4.00 mm crochet hook; 5 buttons; tapestry needle for weaving vertical strands.
Tension (gauge): 12 trebles × 9 rows = 8 cm over main pattern with 4.00 mm hook.
Yarn suggestions (DK, current lines; no links): UK—Rowan Pure Wool DK (100% wool), Sirdar Country Classic DK (50% wool/50% acrylic); US/Canada—Cascade 220 Superwash DK (100% superwash wool), Berroco Ultra Wool DK (100% superwash wool), Knit Picks Wool of the Andes DK (100% wool); Antipodean—Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 8 ply (100% wool).
Construction notes: Worked flat in stripes (A/B/M), then seamed; vertical strands are woven through chain-spaces to create the plaid; button bands and collar worked after seaming; pocket linings and tops included.
