Long-Line Cardigan – 1980s Crochet Pattern: Instant PDF Download

Size: 34–44 Inch Bust (6 Sizes)

Long Buttoned Cardigan with Long Sleeves, Pockets, and Collar Crocheted in Brown Yarn (worn by a woman) from a 1980s Vintage Crochet Pattern for Sizes XS, S, M and L.

With its notched collar, patch pockets, and rows of buttons, this long-line crochet cardigan channels classic 1980s tailoring while staying entirely wearable today. The body is worked in a simple half treble fabric, while the sleeves and collar use a raised front-and-back post treble pattern that builds a subtly ribbed, woven-look texture. Sized across six bust measurements with an adjustable length to shoulder and sleeve seam, this vintage crochet cardigan pattern suits crocheters who enjoy garment construction and post-stitch texture work, and who want a substantial, jacket-like layer for cooler weather.
