Materials

Before you begin, gather the following materials:

6-8 skeins of worsted weight yarn in the color of your choice

Crochet hook in size H/8 or I/9

Stitch markers

Tapestry needle

Step 1: Create the Back Panel

Begin by creating the back panel of the cardigan. To do this, chain the desired number of stitches for your size and crochet in the seafoam stitch pattern until it reaches the desired length.

Step 2: Create the Front Panels

Next, create the two front panels of the cardigan. To do this, chain the same number of stitches as the back panel and work in the seafoam stitch pattern until the panels reach the desired length.

Step 3: Create the Sleeves

For the sleeves, chain the desired number of stitches for your size and crochet in the seafoam stitch pattern until the sleeves reach the desired length.

Step 4: Seam the Panels and Sleeves

Use your tapestry needle to seam the front panels to the back panel at the shoulders. Then, seam the sleeves to the armholes of the cardigan.

Step 5: Create the Collar

To create the collar, begin by picking up stitches along the neckline of the cardigan. Then, crochet in the seafoam stitch pattern until the collar reaches the desired size.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Weave in any remaining ends and block your cardigan to give it a professional finish.
