Cupcake Sweater Crochet Pattern Download

Description

This delightful sampler Tunisian crochet cardigan incorporates four Tunisian stitches: the simple stitch, the knit stitch, the purl stitch, and a lace stitch. First, the bodice is worked from the waist upward in a Tunisian rib pattern. Stitches picked up along the bodice bottom form a simple-stitch waist followed by a lace pattern for the lower body. The slightly puffed sleeves are worked separately in the lace pattern.
