Create the Yoke (Top-Down Construction)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start with a foundation chain that forms the neckline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work in <strong>rows using double crochet (dc)<\/strong> or <strong>half double crochet (hdc)<\/strong>, increasing at four points to form a rounded yoke.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use stitch markers to mark the increases at shoulders (typically after every set number of stitches).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Separate for Body and Sleeves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once the yoke is long enough, skip stitches to form armholes, and continue working back and forth for the body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work even rows until the desired length is reached.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fasten off and reattach yarn at the armholes to crochet each sleeve in the round or in rows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Finishing Touches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add a neat edging around the neckline, hem, and front opening using single crochet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add buttonholes evenly spaced along one front edge by chaining and skipping stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sew on buttons along the opposite side and weave in all ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>crochet baby cardigan<\/strong> is a sweet and simple project with a timeless result.
