Crochet Crop Cardigan
This cardigan is an easy top down project. The cardigan begins at the neck and is worked back and forth in half double crochet until reaching the underarms. On every row the yoke of the cardigan is increased along raglan lines. After the yoke is completed, the cardigan continues in a solid shell stitch pattern. This double breasted cropped cardigan is meant to be close-fitting with a slightly boxy shape, but it is easy to adjust both the sleeve and body length.

This is FAB! I think this bumped up to the top of my queue!
I'm teaching a crochet class for lefties at Hilltop East next month. If I get in gear I might be able to have a good dent in it for the class...

I have a question: when you say to hdc2tog with the stitch before the first marker and the stitch after the second marker, do you mean to skip all of the stitches in between? I've been crocheting for years, but this is one of the first garment patterns I've tried!
