SKILL LEVEL
Beginner-friendly Tunisian crochet garment pattern.
The included video tutorial demonstrates the stitches, construction, shaping, ribbing, and finishing techniques used in the pattern.
CONSTRUCTION
Rowyn is worked flat, beginning with the ribbing at the bottom of the back panel. Stitches are picked up along the ribbing, and the back is worked from the bottom to the shoulders. The panel is then divided to form the two front panels.
The sleeves are picked up directly from the body and worked flat from the shoulder toward the wrist. Tunisian ribbing is added to the front panels and neckline before the cardigan is blocked and seamed.
The pattern includes guidance for adjusting the sleeve opening, wrist fit, and sleeve length.
