9 dc and 4 rows = 2” x 2” (3 clusters x 4 rows)

Finished chest approx 20"

or
using weight 4 yarn and a 5 mm hook you could make 6-12 months size making the length of body and sleeves 1" longer than the 3-6 months.


Materials

300 meters of weight 3 yarn for the 0-3 months or 250 metres of weight 4 yarn for 3-6 months

3.5 mm crochet hook for the ribbed edging
4 mm crochet hook for the main cardigan

4 stitch markers

3 x 15-20 mm buttons (can be made without, by skipping the buttonholes)

The pattern can also be made with the granny spike stitch if you prefer less holes than the regular granny stitch. This closes the holes and makes it more cosy.
The videos can be found on my channel to use the granny spike stitch and how to do the bottom edging for the cardigan.

I used @UniversalYarnVideos Universal yarn Uptown worsted hues shade painted desert for this tutorial and some contrasting cream. https://universalyarn.com/products/u_...
