The Waterfall Cardigan Crochet Pattern is a light, airy top. It uses light weight #3 yarn. It looks beautiful in stripes or solids. Leave as a tank top, or add sleeves. Either way is perfect to style your outfit.

It is made in large rectangle with arm holes. I always talk about effortless patterns and this is one of them! I love those patterns that have repeated stitches. You can crochet while watching TV or take them with you.

Pattern includes sizes XS to 2XL. It is true to size. See chart below to find your size. To get the nice flow in the front, I highly recommend to steam or wet block after finished. This will relax the stitches.
