Milo Cardigan

The Milo Cardigan is a crochet cardigan worked with individual motifs that are joined together using the Join-As-You-Go (JAYG) method. The body and sleeves are made by arranging different motifs in the specified order, creating an airy lace-like texture throughout the garment. After the motifs are joined to form the body and sleeves, the hem, front bands, neckline, collar, cuffs, and edging are worked separately. The collar is shaped with increases, and the front band includes buttonholes. The edges are finished with slip stitch edging for a neat and refined look. The cardigan is finished with buttons at the front, then washed, blocked, and lightly pressed on the wrong side. Please note that the finished measurements and yarn usage may vary depending on your individual crochet tension. We recommend checking your motif gauge before beginning the project. **Size Guide** Choose your size based on your preferred fit and finished chest circumference. Because this cardigan is made with motifs, the finished size may vary depending on your tension and blocking. Please note the difference of sleeve length before and after washing, and check the length as you crochet. **Sizes** S (M) L **Finished Measurements** Chest circumference: 100 (115) 122 cm Armhole depth: 24 (26) 33 cm Neck: 14 (14) 14 cm Arm circumference: 26 (30) 37 cm Sleeve length: 58 (58) 70 cm Cuff: 3.5 (5) 5 cm Hem: 5 (5) 4.5 cm Total length: 46 (46) 59 cm Measurements are after washing. **Gauge** Motif A & B: 8 x 8 cm with a 2.5 mm hook 9 x 9 cm with a 3.0 mm hook Motif C & D: 10 x 10 cm with a 2.5 mm hook 11 x 11 cm with a 3.0 mm hook Motif E: 3.5 x 3.5 cm with a 3.0 mm hook **Crochet Hooks** 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 3.5 mm crochet hooks **Materials** Yarn: Oat Cotton by Ancalls 50 g = 160 m Yarn quantity: S: 201 Cream, 11 balls / 520 g M: 206 Marzipan, 12 balls / 560 g L: 209 Dusty Mint, 14 balls / 670 g Other materials: Stitch markers, tapestry needle, scissors Buttons: S, M: 5 buttons L: 6 buttons Button size: Ø 18 mm Sample uses D-29 Light Beige Marble-like buttons. **Difficulty** ★★★★☆ (4 out of 5) Recommended for crocheters who are comfortable with motif crochet, reading motif charts, joining motifs as you go, shaping with increases and decreases, working buttonholes, and finishing garment edges. **Techniques Used** This pattern includes the following techniques: Crochet motif construction Magic ring Chain stitch Slip stitch Single crochet Half double crochet Double crochet Treble crochet Double crochet cluster stitch Increases and decreases Join-As-You-Go motif joining Buttonholes Collar shaping Hem and cuff finishing Slip stitch edging Blocking and finishing **Construction Order** Motifs → Body and Sleeves → Hem → Front Band and Neckline → Collar → Edging → Cuffs → Buttons → Finishing **This pattern is available in English.** **Pattern Support** For pattern support or commercial use inquiries, please contact: ANCALLS ancallsglobal@gmail.com
